I am pretty sure that is a carved Jade like Beth said. Any hallmarks? Lovely bird.

 

[BijouVintage]

of course there is a hallmark which is unreadable by the human eye.. I'll try to catch of shot of it later

My guess is Swoboda.

I've had a couple pieces in the past that did pretty good.
Haven't checked lately but it used to be highly collectible.

"Swoboda of California has been manufacturing jewelry since at least the 1950s" and
"the lower end pieces consist of figural pins, often with carved jade or other semiprecious stones set on gold plated metal."

That's out of "Costume Jewelry" by Fred Rezazadeh

Yup, Swoboda! Great find, Beth--that's one maker I haven't run across once yet!

That is a wonderful color chart. How can I save it for future reference? or would you post it separately with a descriptive label? Thanks, Claire
