Sarah Coventry Fashion Flower Brooch Pin Book Piece Vintage AB Crystal

This stunning Sarah Coventry Floral Brooch Bookpiece by Sarah Coventry is from the 1961 "Fashion Flower" line. This brooch is a delightful collector's piece and can be found on page 215 of "Costume Jewelry: 1900-1980; Second Edition" by Aikins.

The brooch depicts a ten petal flower with its stem and two leaves. The flower consists of two offset layers of five filigreed petals. Each of the ten petals are set with an aurora borealis rhinestone. The petals surround a large aurora borealis rhinestone set in the center of the flower head. The smooth curved stem of the flower supports two openwork leaves that have a single aurora borealis rhinestone at the intersection. The very end of the stem is shaped like that of a freshly cut flower. There are a total of twelve aurora borealis rhinestones in the brooch that shift colors depending on the light and all show the characteristic red tone of original aurora borealis rhinestones.

Excellent condition, the fastening pin is straight and works well. Upon very close examination, there is one small spot of wear to the metal visible on one of the petals near the stem. Brooch measures 3 3/4" long and 1 3/4" at its widest point. Signed SaraCov.

Excellent overall condition with the front of the brooch in mint condition. There is very light metal wear to backside of pin that can be seen in the last photo and this is the only reason for the excellent instead of mint rating. Pin clasp and pendant bale in great condition.

This would make a great addition to your Christmas jewelry collection for dressing up an outfit during the holidays.

This brooch pin could also serve as a necklace pendant with a necklace chain and brooch pin converter providing some nice flexibility as to how you decide to wear the piece, as a brooch or a pendant necklace. Because the metal base is both gold and silver, it could be worn with either a silver or gold tone horizontal pin converter and necklace chain offering even more versatility.
