Listing is for 1980's Vintage Austria Star Collection Swarovski Crystal gold plated alligator. The approximate measurements are 3 inches long 1.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches high. The figurine comes with the original box. I did some research and learned that the Lencia Star
Collection is a collection of handmade miniatures of cut crystal set in
gilded gold, 22 carat. They are all animal figures, very fine and
detailed. While over time, the thin layer of gold can wear away and
require replating. 2) Additionally, electroplated gold is not as
valuable of an investment as real gold (24K) because it can fade over
time with wear and tear. However, that said, these crystal animals were
in a showcase, not handled and look the same as the day I bought them
40+ years ago.
