BJ (Beatrix) Basket Weave Christmas Bell Pin, Gold Plated, Rhinestones, Signed Book Piece, retailer RARE Vintage Mid Century 1970s, Gift for Her Him

This is the coolest and rarest of signed BJ Christmas bell pins, with the tree being the holy grail. Rare to find is this signed BJ Christmas bell pin with its unusual, eye-catching design – as if it were revealing the support scaffold beneath. The left side of this modernist holiday brooch reveals an overlapping basket weave pattern in textured gold plate.

With ragged edges, the less than half right side shows a finished tree in brush textured gold tone, adorned with emerald green rhinestones on its top, and its bottom has a single row of red rhinestones, all pave set. Clapper has a larger red stone, too. This pin is shown in Mary Morrison's book, Christmas Jewelry, on page 40.

The matching tree (not included) is shown in the last photo.

Measures 2" tall X 1.25" inches at its widest point.

Back of pin is hallmarked "B.J." with the copyright symbol on a raised, oval cartouche.

Vintage late 1970's. Excellent condition. Don't hesitate on this one!! retailer
