Vintage Hattie Carnegie Snake Charmer Brooch  Turquoise Cabochons & Blue Rhinestones  Signed 1960s Gold Tone Statement Pin

A rare and radiant relic of mid-century costume artistry, this vintage Hattie Carnegie snake charmer brooch conjures mystique, movement, and storytelling in one sculptural sweep. Crafted in the 1960s and signed Hattie Carnegie with copyright mark, it depicts a seated charmer coaxing a cobra from a woven basket—his turban and attire adorned with turquoise cabochons and blue rhinestones, all set in rich gold tone metal.
This figural brooch belongs to Carnegie’s Maharajah series, celebrated for its theatrical motifs and jeweled opulence. The detailing is exquisite: from the charmer’s poised silhouette to the serpent’s coiled elegance, every element reflects the designer’s flair for drama and dimensionality.

This is an exceptionally rare and highly collectible piece—seldom seen on the market and prized by connoisseurs of signed mid-century figural jewelry. This brooch is documented as a “book piece,” featured in Hattie Carnegie Jewelry by Georgiana McCall—affirming its significance within the designer’s celebrated Maharajah series and its enduring appeal to collectors.
