Vintage True Jelly Belly Owl on Crescent Moon Pin Brooch – Likely Coro – Big Eyes
This delightful vintage owl brooch captures everything collectors love about whimsical mid-century costume jewelry. The wide-eyed owl is perched sweetly on a sparkling crescent moon, its body centered by a clear acrylic “jelly belly” cabochon that gives the piece charm, depth, and unmistakable character.
The owl’s expressive yellow eyes are especially notable, closely resembling the style used by Adolph Katz in early Coro designs. The crescent moon is accented with clear rhinestones, while two vivid green baguette rhinestones form the owl’s feet, adding a playful pop of color and thoughtful detail.
Perfectly balanced between cute and collectible, this brooch has a joyful presence that feels timeless. Whether worn, displayed, or added to a curated Coro or figural jewelry collection, it brings personality and warmth with every glance.
In excellent vintage condition, all stones are original and intact, and the plating remains bright and well preserved. A charming example of classic jelly belly design that continues to delight decades later.
