Materials and Features:

• Genuine Mother of Pearl Architecture: Features six independent, iridescent MOP discs set in a tiered, sculptural configuration. This multi-level "stacking" mimics the pom-pom coat of a show poodle with natural, shifting depth-of-field.

• Documented "Pedigree" Archive: This specific 6-disc figural is a verified "Book Piece," featured in Nancy Schiffer’s Costume Jewelry: The Fun of Collecting. It represents the high-end boutique output of the 1950's "Poodle Mania" era.

• Skeletal "Light-Well" Reverse: Engineered with a specialized open-work frame to allow light to penetrate the translucent shell from behind. This hardware detail is a hallmark of premium 1950's craftsmanship designed for maximum iridescence.

• Textured Gold-Tone Contrast: The head, ears, and tail feature high-relief "swirl" engraving, providing a sophisticated material counterpoint to the smooth, organic shell discs.

Type: Brooch features a standard mid-century roll-over safety catch and structural pin-bar
