Sarah Coventry Pineapple Brooch

Due to its seemingly exotic qualities and rareness, the pineapple soon became a symbol of hospitality in early America. Because trade routes between America and Caribbean Islands were often slow and perilous, it was considered a significant achievement from a host to procure a ripe pineapple for guests. Wear it as a Brooch or string it on a necklace. This vintage pineapple with its amber stone is beautiful.
