Two huge vintage phoenix brooches, silvertone with rhinestones! They are about 3" x 3".
They are similar to the famous Boucher brooches, but the crest feathers' length and pin stem location are more of a match for the Reinad version of this brooch. That would put these from between the 1940s and 1960. There's indentations in one of these brooches where the Reinad signature would be, so possibly remnants of that R and D.
They are GUC, with several rhinestones missing on one, at least 12 missing on the other, and several discolored. The metal is stained in a few spots. I can't tell if the yellowish discoloration on the crests is a stain, or if these used to be goldtone. The remaining stones are so gorgeous!
These have possibilities! They need a jeweler to remove the stones anyway for the metal to be professionally cleaned. You could combine all the good stones and should end up with one refurbished brooch with vintage stones, maybe even with a couple spares.
You could have some fun with the second brooch! You could replace those stones with real gemstones, or similar rhinestones to make these look like twins. Or colorful rhinestones, maybe in the colors of the enameled Boucher brooches that inspired this design in the first place!
I'd love to see what you do with these! With some professional TLC, these will be amazing!
