Crystal Encrusted Vintage Rucinni Rooster Trinket Box + Natural Garnet Gemstones

This is a vintage 1980 Rucinni rooster that is encrusted with crystals along his chest and sides. It becomes an even more valuable collectible now that Swarovski has undertaken brand control and severely limits sales of their crystals worldwide so artisans can no longer use that material or the associated name. This rooster is in mint condition, and stands approximately 3" tall and 2.5" wide. Opening the box reveals two faceted pear Red Garnets measuring approximately 7x5x2mm, weighing 2.05 total carats. The rooster is handmade and hand-painted, and previously owned. The gemstones are new and have never been set.
