The Berry Pin features 76 diamond-like and ruby-like Swarovski crystals with 24k gold-plating. The Berry Pin was a gift from JFK for the Birth of John F. Kennedy Jr. (November 27, 1960). This pin was one of Jackie most prized possessions. The Berry Pin is kept at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, behind bullet-proof glass. Though he was organizing his new Presidential Administration at the time of his sons birth, JFK found the time to go to Tiffanys in New York to have this gift made to order for Jackie. The pin was presented to a pleasantly surprised Jackie on January 10, 1961, ten days before he took office. Jackie would sometimes wear the pin, which she now called My Berry Pin, with the berries up and sometimes with the berries down (as you see above). She was so proud of the pin, and its special charm, that she wore the pin on her first trip abroad as First Lady , to Canada in May 1961. This pin, though on permanent exhibition at the JFK Library, is still owned by Caroline, who will never give up an heirloom of such personal importance, especially now that her brother, JFK Jr., has passed away. This magnificent replica is made entirely with hand-set and hand-polished Swarovski crystals. Even the box is special. This is the only piece in the line that sits in its own pillow. The boxs pad is hand made to match the form of the individual pin, just like Jackies.
Each piece of jewelry comes gift boxed in velour-covered steel cases and with a Camrose and Kross certificate of authenticity. Also included is a romance card with some fascinating information about Jackie and her life.
