Vintage Dodds Sapphire Blue Kitty Cat Figural Rhinestone Brooch Pin

Vintage Dodds Sapphire Blue Kitty Cat Rhinestone Brooch Pin is such a sweet figural! The body is designed with large sapphire blue rhinestones and the collar and ears are set with clear rhinestones. All stones are prong set in a gold plated setting. The sapphire blue "stones" are open backed.

Although this pin is unsigned, it resembles the Dodds cat pin which was sold by Jewelry Creations as a kit you could make the brooch yourself. This brooch, however, may be an earlier version that the kit figure was modeled after as this one has high-quality, prong set stones unlike the kit figure which has glued in stones. This is a very appealing cat brooch design.

Excellent condition, there is some very light darkening to the clear rhinestones and light wear to the metal on the collar and the tail. Measures 1 3/4" tall and 1" wide and weighs 12 grams.

This jewelry comes from a dear friend and a truly exceptional lady. While having an antique shop, she has collected these unsigned and signed 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 extensive 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, Schiaiparelli, Vendome, and Weiss as well as Coro, Coventry, Kramer, Krementz, Lisner, and Trifari.

Numerous pieces 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.
