Sarah Coventry Toucan Brooch – 1970s Purple Jelly Belly Bird

A wonderfully whimsical piece of 1970s Sarah Coventry jewelry, this tropical toucan brooch pairs gleaming gold-tone metal with a luminous purple jelly belly body. Its oversized translucent cabochon catches the light beautifully, shifting toward electric blue in photographs while showing decidedly more purple in person.

The sculptural toucan has plenty of personality, from its wonderfully exaggerated beak to the tiny sparkling rhinestone eye. A fabulous collectible for Sarah Coventry enthusiasts and anyone who loves colorful vintage figural jewelry.
