Swoboda is a great way to have garnets without spending an entire paycheck. This gold plated Christmas Tree brooch offers genuine garnets  set in little golden flowers. The star on top is also set with a garnet. In the pictures, the color & shadow differences are accentuated due to the fact that some of the garnets are fat and really stick out from the tree; others are flatter and appear a lighter color. The tree measures 2 3/8" tall x 1 1/2" wide and is signed in back (c)SWOBODA. This jewel is in Excellent condition.  $88

This lovely and unusual vintage brooch is made of golden rope openwork setting emblazoned with green enameled holly sprigs. The open areas in the bell are filled with see-through enamel that is probably a plastic, perhaps epoxy. The backside is left open so the light shines through, like plate glass. It reminds me of the old plique-a-jour jewels of Art Nouveau days. This pretty jewel is signed in a script D(c). This plump 2 3/8" brooch  really catches the light; and is something a bit different to wear for holiday cheer. Excellent condition. $35

This grand poinsettia brooch starts with a layer of olive green enameled leaves pointing to & fro. Then it keeps opening and opening and opening, with a whirl of dark red enameled petals, a floret of curled light goldtone petals and in the center, a burst of rhinestone stamens! The matching clip on earrings have no leaves, but a double layer of dark red petals and bursts of tiny crystal rhinestones in the center. All metal is pale goldtone; in some lights in looks like silvertone. Brooch is 2 1/2" wide and stands nearly an inch above the pin stem. The earrings are 1 1/8" and also chunky. All pieces are signed Coro in script, no copyright mark. Enjoy these lovely jewels wherever you may be this winter, for that extra color and holiday mood. Excellent condition. $48
