Gold-tone angel brooch with green enamel shamrock by Avon

This angel pin was produced by Avon in the mid-1990s as part of their seasonal St. Patrick's Day jewelry collection. Avon, founded in 1886, became one of the world's largest direct-selling cosmetics and jewelry companies, creating affordable costume jewelry that appealed to a broad consumer base. The piece features a cherubic angel holding a three-leaf clover, combining religious symbolism with Irish cultural motifs that were popular in American holiday-themed accessories of that era. Vintage Avon jewelry has developed a dedicated collector following, particularly among those who appreciate nostalgic costume jewelry and holiday-themed pieces. These pins appeal to collectors of Avon memorabilia, St. Patrick's Day enthusiasts, and vintage costume jewelry aficionados who value the craftsmanship and design aesthetic of 1990s fashion accessories. The combination of angel imagery with Irish symbolism makes this piece particularly charming to collectors seeking whimsical, seasonal jewelry with sentimental value.
