1960s Castlecliff Hedgehog Brooch Amber Glass Animal Pin Gold Tone Vintage Jewelry

✦ Castlecliff – American Vintage Costume Jewelry
This vintage brooch is signed Castlecliff, one of the most respected American costume jewelry brands of the mid-20th century.
Founded in New York, Castlecliff became especially well known for its high-quality metalwork, playful figural designs, and strong collector appeal. Signed Castlecliff pieces are still loved today for their craftsmanship, durability, and distinctive vintage character.

⭐ Charming Hedgehog Design
This brooch features an adorable hedgehog figure, modeled with a rounded amber-colored glass body, bright green rhinestone eye, and textured gold-tone spines.
The warm golden metal and glowing amber glass give the piece a rich autumnal look, while the slightly humorous animal form makes it feel lively and full of personality.

Animal brooches like this have always had a strong following among vintage jewelry collectors because they combine charm, whimsy, and wearable design.

💛 A Playful Mid-Century Figural Brooch
Castlecliff was particularly skilled at creating figural jewelry that felt both polished and expressive.
This little hedgehog has a wonderful sculptural presence despite its small size. The glass body catches the light beautifully, and the raised spines create depth and texture that make the brooch feel more special than a simple novelty pin.

It’s the kind of piece that adds warmth and character to a coat, knitwear, scarf, or collector’s display.

✦ Collector’s Note
Signed Castlecliff animal brooches are especially appealing because they sit at the intersection of mid-century costume jewelry and collectible figural design.
This one has that classic vintage balance of quality and playfulness — sweet without being childish, decorative without being overdone.

For collectors of American vintage jewelry, animal pins, or mid-century figural brooches, it’s a lovely little piece with real personality.
