Jackie Kennedy Starburst Brooch
Product Description
IN JUNE OF 1961, JACKIE KENNEDY SPOTTED A SUNBURST PIN IN AN ANTIQUE SHOP WHILE SHOPPING WITH HER SISTER. JACKIE INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AND PURCHASED IT. THE BROOCH REPRESENTED THE SYMBOL OF KING LOUIS XIV OF FRANCE, THE SUN KING - 18TH CENTURY HISTORY, BEING HER FAVORITE TIME PERIOD. JACKIE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED HER SUNBURST BROOCH AND WORE IT CONSTANTLY - ON THE SHOULDERS OF OVERCOATS, ON JACKETS, ON DRESSES, AND EVEN IN HER HAIR. ALONG WITH HER WATERFALL EARRINGS, THE SUNBURST BROOCH BECAME ONE OF HER SIGNATURE PIECES. IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY!
