Vintage JJ Signed Enamel Cardinal Bird Brooch with Yellow Flowers

JJ, or Jonette Jewelry Co., was a beloved American costume jewelry maker known for its whimsical and finely crafted figural pieces from the 1930s until the company closed in the early 2000s. The cardinal, often seen as a symbol of hope, vitality, and spiritual connection, is a frequent subject in JJ’s nature-inspired designs. Enamel detailing became particularly popular in mid-to-late 20th-century brooches, adding lifelike color and charm. This brooch is a delightful example of JJ’s craftsmanship and storytelling through jewelry—a true collectible with nostalgic warmth.
