Vintage Pot Metal Blue Enamel Sapphire Pave Rhinestone Bow Brooch Pin
Details
Vintage Pot Metal Blue Enamel Sapphire Pave Rhinestone Bow Brooch Pin is set with clear pave icing style rhinestones with a large sapphire blue rhinestone at its center.
There appears to be a mark, however I cannot positively identify. Based on research, I have attributed it to Little Nemo although I'm uncertain if Little Nemo jewelry was produced unsigned. This is such a lovely piece of jewelry from the past estimated to be circa 1930s/1940s. Little Nemo operated from 1913 until 1978.
Very good condition, the enamel has been redone. I can't be certain but the pin may have been replaced since the metal color is more gold than pot metal. Otherwise, very nice vintage condition for a piece of this age with a nice working pin clasp. This is a large brooch pin measuring 2 1/2" tall and 2" wide.
This jewelry comes from a dear friend and a truly exceptional lady. While having an antique shop, she has collected these signed and unsigned fine designer pieces for the last 40 years and has an incredibly discerning eye for quality as well as uniqueness. The extensive nature of her collection has meant that she has not worn most pieces more than once.
It is my distinct pleasure that she has chosen to pass her collection on to me. I am in the process of acquiring her complete collection and know that I will be keeping some special pieces for myself. I will also be offering some for sale and please know that with each piece comes a wonderful legacy of a very special lady that makes this jewelry all the more special.
Her collection includes some of the most desirable designers; Boucher, Carnegie, Ciner, DeLizza and Elster (aka Juliana), Eisenberg, Haskell, Hobe, Lane, Philippe for Trifari, Schreiner, Schiaparelli, Vendome, and Weiss as well as Coro, Coventry, Kramer, Krementz, Lisner, and Trifari.
Numerous items are book pieces and many had matching pieces so many demi-parures are available. I acquired so much of this jewelry that I will be working on offering it in the store for years to come.
There are additional antique and vintage necklaces, brooches, and earrings in the Designer, Necklaces, Pendant, Earrings, as well as the Bakelite, Lucite, and Other Plastics Studio Categories.
There are also other antique and vintage costume and plastic jewelry (bakelite, lucite, celluloid, and figurals), collectibles, books, art, glass, china, kitchen, home decor, and retro pieces in the store.
