Jewelry Signed ART

Offering high quality jewelry with an emphasis on medieval, renaissance styles, ART was in business from the late 1940's. But the heyday of this company came during the 1960's when they produced for us dozens of interpretations of ethnic Asian figural jewelry, Egyptian revival large metal pectorals, Maltese crosses, and an entire line of jewelry with delightful small enameled flowers. Most collectible besides the Christmas tree pins are the Maltese crosses and the enameled daisy jewels; but the hardest to find pieces are decadent rhinestone sets that are very similar to Florenza jewelry. The prices of jewelry signed ART(c) will only continue to rise.

The brooch measures 3 3/8" x 2 1/4". It is splendid! Watch out, it's heavy; wear on stiff material like a coat or jacket, or pin into bra strap to hold in place. Signed ART(c) on plaque beneath.
