A delightful piece of Hollywood history from the glamorous 1940s!
This charming vintage sterling silver mermaid brooch is the collectible “Neptune’s Daughter” scatter pin, originally offered as part of a special Lux Toilet Soap 25th anniversary promotion featuring legendary Hollywood swimming star Esther Williams.
The original advertisement promoted this enchanting sterling silver mermaid pin for just 35 cents and two Lux soap wrappers!
Inspired by the Hollywood fascination with glamorous swimming stars and mythical sea maidens, this beautifully sculpted brooch captures the romance and whimsy of the era.
The mermaid features flowing, windswept hair, gracefully extended arms, and an intricately detailed, scale-covered fishtail. She is surrounded by curling aquatic foliage, creating a wonderfully dimensional underwater composition.
The rich silver patina enhances the sculptural details, giving this charming figural brooch beautiful vintage character.
An especially appealing collectible for admirers of Esther Williams, vintage Hollywood memorabilia, mermaid jewelry, and unusual sterling silver advertising premiums.
