Extraordinary and rare, this vermeil floral brooch, created in 1941 and known by the evocative name "King’s Ransom," is one of the most original and theatrical creations signed Eisenberg Original.

Designed by Ruth Kamke, a prominent figure among the brand’s designers, the brooch embodies the boldness and refinement that characterize Eisenberg’s early 1940s production.

Crafted in silver-tone metal with a vermeil finish (gilded silver), this floral composition stands out for its masterful use of color: a rich combination of white, light blue, and deep blue rhinestones brings to life a vibrant, luminous flower full of depth and dimension. The cool, intense tones enhance the piece’s volume and dynamic form, which unfolds in a wide, harmonious shape.

Its impressive size — 11.4 cm by 8 cm (approx. 4.5" x 3.15") — makes this brooch a true sculptural piece, designed to catch the eye and elevate formal garments or outerwear with a striking, dramatic presence.

More than just a spectacular accessory, this brooch is a highly collectible piece, featured in two key reference books for scholars and vintage costume jewelry enthusiasts:

– "Costume Jewelry" by Brunialti (p. 167)

– "Eisenberg Original: The Golden Years of Fashion, Jewelry and Fragrances, 1920s–1950s" by Sharon Schwartz & Laura Sutton (p. 49)
