Coro Pink Floral Bouquet Rose Vine Wishbone Brooch - Antique American Jewelry Vintage Jewelry

Wishbones, lucky clover, and horseshoes are considered the three major symbols of good luck in the Americas. The wishbone, or furcula, is a slender bone found in the chest of birds. Western families, after finishing their turkey, would carefully remove this three-pronged breastbone and leave it to sun-dry for three days until it became brittle. At this point, two people would each take an end of the bone, pull simultaneously to break it, and the one who obtained the larger piece would get to make a wish, which was believed to come true under the wishbone's blessing. Perhaps it's this auspiciousness that brings such joy. The shop owner is delighted to have acquired two wishbone pieces at once! 😍 (Please search the store for the light blue one). This particular piece features a more abundant floral bouquet, delicate vine-like tendrils, and sparkling rhinestones, adding a brighter aura. It's also a patented design, making it exceptionally rare! Collectors who admire such finds shouldn't miss out. Although we in Asia may not personally experience this custom, its charming tradition is beautifully captured in Coro's fashion jewelry, creating warm pieces that reflect both everyday life and human connection. ❤️ (And you can bring good luck home without having to break a bone! 😂) . . 〖 Coro & Corocraft 〗 Established in 1901 and operating until 1979, Coro spent over three-quarters of a century creating countless beautiful pieces of jewelry, renowned for their exquisite materials and distinctive thematic designs.
