Vintage Rhinestone Christmas Tree Brooch Pin

In my husband's family, all holiday celebrations are ultra casual, jeans and sweatshirts, but even so every woman in the family has a rhinestone Christmas tree brooch that they wear to every Christmas meal and gathering.

There is just something about Christmas and rhinestones that is fun, and festive. Wearing a rhinestone Christmas tree brooch allows you to carry the Christmas season around with you all day.

This page is an introduction to the Vintage Rhinestone Christmas Tree Brooches available on Ebay.  To see more, just click through any of the links on this page to the category shown.  At the end of the page, there are resources listed to help you determine manufacturer and price.

Napier is a company that made costume jewelry and specialized in brooches of all shapes.  Their style is a bit more contemporary and sleek compared to other vintage Christmas tree brooches.

When searching for a specific manufacturer of brooches like Napier, make sure to get proof that the vintage brooch is exactly the manufacturer that you are looking for.  Most of the well known vintage jewelry manufacturers have a mark or signature that denotes that a jewelry piece is designed by that manufacturer or artist.

Depending on the quality of the brooch, and the name of the artist, designer, or manufacturer, vintage brooch pins can range in price.  You can find some as low as $10 to $12, while others will be over $100.  Part of the pricing differentiation is how collectible and sought after the brooch is.

This is especially true of well known companies like Napier.  Certain pieces can be very expensive.  Do some research while you are hunting for a piece to add to your jewelry collection, and find out what a fair price is for an item.  Then you have a better idea if what Ebay sellers or sellers on other websites are charging is a good deal.

There is really no question in anyone's mind that the best rhinestones are made by Swarovski.  Swarovski Crystal is the highest quality crystal.  Therefore, any brooch that is made with Swarovski crystal rhinestones will sparkle more, shine more, and pick up the light more than pins made with any other crystal rhinestones.

That isn't to say that other pins won't fit your need or collection.  It is just something to keep in mind when judging quality, price, and appearance of the vintage Christmas tree brooch you choose.

Style is a very large factor when choosing a piece of jewelry, and that is just as true with a vintage Christmas tree brooch.  It is absolutely amazing how many different designs people can come up with in the design of a Christmas tree brooch.  However, you will find a myriad of beautiful designs to choose from.

If you prefer a simpler, sleeker Christmas tree brooch, then you will have to search for those, while a very shiny all clear rhinestone brooch will entail another search.  Start with broader parameters of what you are looking for, then narrow down your choices as you see what results you get.

Ebay is a huge help with this, as you find the correct search terms to put in the search bar to find the right Christmas tree brooch.

These vintage rhinestone jewelry resources below are a good place to start if you are not sure what questions to ask about the vintage Christmas tree brooch you would like to own.  You can look up the price ranges, styles, and history of companies that manufactured brooches, and decide if what you are looking for is really what you want.
