This brooch is one of several purchased by my mother at estate sales so I have no information on them as to age or history. It is still beautiful and clasp works well.
My mother sold Cathe and Sarah Coventry in the early 1960s. This was an era when costume jewelry was quality, intricately detailed and is still stunningly beautiful. I spent many a happy hour imagining being a princess/pirate with my chest of jewelry. Now Its time for someone else to enjoy these treasures.
Note: I am not a dealer or jewelry expert. I base my knowledge on piece signatures, internet research and my mother's information. Every piece is described as honestly and as accurately as possible according to my knowledge.
(There are many ways to wear this other than the "traditional way". You can put it on a turban, a purse, or bracelet. A striking brooch uniquely dresses up a wrapped scarf. I had one customer use a pin and earrings set as center pieces on her decorative pillows. The ideas are endless.)
