Vintage LC Liz Claiborne Plique A Jour Enamel Rhinestone Poinsettia Pin

Holiday courthouse reception. Friday evening.  The chief judge notices the brooch before anyone checks your invitation and asks whether it came from the governor's private collection. You look toward the marble staircase and take a drink.  Ten minutes later, the private elevator opens. By dinner, your place card has been moved beside the foundation chair. By Sunday morning, you have access to the lake house, a standing seat at executive dinner, and three people asking for your opinion on succession.  No one has confirmed who you are.  You're wearing a vintage LC Liz Claiborne poinsettia brooch built with translucent enamel petals and brilliant rhinestone accents.  The floral structure catches light like stained glass while the crystal center gives it full holiday authority. This is not a timid Christmas pin. It is a boardroom poinsettia with enough color and sparkle to take control of the room.  Signed LC Liz Claiborne.  Poinsettia flower design.  Translucent plique-à-jour style enamel.  Rhinestone accents.  Gold-tone setting.  Gerald Dingleberry examined the petals and asked which one approved the holiday budget.  I needed to be somewhere else.  So I went straight to Dorsia. I ordered the sea urchin ceviche and the swordfish meatloaf with onion marmalade. The waiter nodded.  Shipped right — packed by someone who understands enamel brooches, not someone crushing Christmas into a mailer.  Shipping includes tracking.  Comes from a smoke-free lair.
