Description: Estate Find! Vintage Signed JAN MICHAELS San Francisco Modernist Style Brooch Pin For a smooth transaction, please read the entire description prior to making a purchase. Please check out all of the images as they are a major part of the description. Images may show wear/condition, details, maker mark and/or branding, approximate measurements and other details that will help you determine the condition and if this is what you were looking for. This piece would be a wonderful gift to a vintage jewelry collector or a fantastic addition to your ever growing collection. Please look at all of the images to form your own opinion as to the condition of the necklace. To me, the brooch itself, is in excellent vintage condition, meaning gently worn and well taken care of - wear consistent with age and no dings in the metal. The clasp works fine, but it is slightly out of shape as shown. I do not know the metal content, but it is a brass color. The metal does have blemishes or marks and to me, needs to be cleaned. I do not know if the spots can be removed. I don’t want to use harsh chemicals on it and quite frankly, I think some folks would prefer this look. Personally, I prefer the vintage look and would leave it as is. Looking at the back side, I am not too sure that it ever was a super, gold shiny color and it looks intentionally to be a darker/oxidized sort of brassy color. I say this because I have a bracelet I am preparing to list and it is the same metal. Please look it over carefully. I did not polish the brooch as some folks like the aged look or want to polish items themselves. This is a pretty cool piece. If you are a Jan Michaels fan, this is definitely a piece to add to your collection! Condition: Vintage or preowned jewelry typically shows wear constant with its age. That is why we love it so much. The images are a major part of the description so please zoom in and look closely so there will be no surprises and you know exactly what I am selling and you will be receiving. ** Most of the time, I try not to disturb any vintage/preowned jewelry by cleaning and/or polishing it in order to keep it in its original patina leaving it to your discretion. I do not want to take a chance ruining something. Depending on your own taste, you can either clean or polish it or keep it in its original state. My jewelry comes from estates, individual consignors, individual or bulk purchases, etc. In most cases, I do not know the history of the jewelry nor where it has traveled or been stored. Most importantly, I have no idea if it has been around pets, smoke, air fresheners or any sort of allergen or if it smells. (I do not smell jewelry) Thanks so much for looking!
