Circa 1955. For sheer vintage sparkle plus collectibility, we offer this fairly well- known H. Pomerantz leaf brooch. The pale goldtone base of the leaf is convex in the center, dipping sensuously inward to the vein of ruby red Ab rhinestones. Then the sides plump up into a slight dome, with the main body of pave AB crystals can playing off one another's light, glinting mainly a pink and gold blush. All the rhinestones are bright, even the small line of baguettes in the leaf stem. At 2 7/8" long this simple jewel will add a large splash of elegance for evening. Signed H. Pomerantz & Co. N.Y. on a rectangle plate in back. Excellent condition.

For a unique look that will take you from late summer though the holiday
season, why not an old fashioned berry corsag? These beads are incredible; most
of them look like real dried berries or nuts, but only a few of them are;
several are glass. Red and cranberry and purple and fuchsia and deep, rich
blends of all these marvelous shades spill onto a thick, sturdy gold tone
openwork leaf setting evoking rich abundance! 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

Probably from the late 1940s to early 50s, this fabulously designed brooch is
an obvious designer piece, but is unsigned. Twisted brass wire and textured
leaves and tendrils are gracefully fashioned into this high quality jewel. The
central faceted amethyst glass is unfoiled and held in fancy prongs, surrounded
by a dramatic sunburst design.
At 3 1/4" tall the brooch is large, but the curved domed design also makes
it chunky, rising a full 1" from the surface and will really stand out on a
coat or jacket collar or lapel. Despite a bit of tarnish, this brooch is in Very
Good + condition. $78
A possible Juliana, this brooch is now in the verification albums to be
verified by Frank DeLizza, but whether it's D&E or not, it's a beautiful
jewel of Autumn. A central vein of prong set amber chatons bursts with prong set
teardrops with points outward, giving a delightful spiky appearance. Set in
smooth silvertone, this sparkling beauty measures 2 1/2" x 2" and is
in Excellent condition. $48
Here is one of the most delightful vintage frog pins I have
ever seen. The gilded pot pot metal cast setting is very much like another
unsigned Art Deco frog we've seen, but with Pomerantz it can be sometimes be
difficult to tell the dating. This could be circa 1930s to early 1950s. Crystal
and emerald green navettes decorate this sweet little guy's arms and feet. Look
at those adorable splayed, barely webbed hands and toes. He's an aristocrat of
frogs. The round beaded eyes and oval middle look so much like carnelian you
could really pass it off as such, but I believe these stones a very hard
semi-transparent vintage plastic. They are not bakelite. Barely 1 7/8"
tall, this Duke of Lilly pads is 1 5/8" wide at the widest. The frog is a
symbol of rebirth. transformation and creativity, and could very well become
your signature piece. Very Good condition. $78
This high quality brooch has big oval unfoiled rhinestones
that are probably irreplaceable. A true collector's piece, scarce and
unusual, the stones are set in old fashioned forked prongs on a stout,
sturdy pot metal wire frame. The color and clarity of these thick jumbo
stones makes you want to drink them! The brooch itself is 2 1/2" wide x 1
7/8" tall. The largest stone is a full 1" tall x 3/4". Wear
this directly over your v-neck or just under the collar, or on a velvet jacket.
Excellent condition with the pot metal still mainly bright with just a bit of
wear. $78
For you today is this very striking D&E brooch in a hard to find style.
The base layer has those long, sexy deep ruby red marquise cuts arranged in gold
tone prong settings with red chatons and two charming little ruffs of sparkling
crystals. Hovering above is the square frame of yet more crystal rhinestones,
which are wired to the piece. This classy design will look
breathtaking pinned to a gem colored ball gown evening dress, or to as closure
to a velvet handbag! Verified by Frank Delizza as genuine D&E, this pin

You may have seen these luxurious 1980s butterflies before, but now it's time to
buy one, for you will never need another summertime brooch! The mix of colors is just astonishing. This
openwork beauty offers slightly domed fields of opaque red faceted glass
navettes with contrasting green chatons and blazing aurora borealis navettes
in the inner wings. The butterfly's body sports a body a 20mm oval aqua stone
and an amber colored round rhinestone as the head. All stones are are prong set
or coronet set in rhodium plated metal. I've never seen this particular line of
butterfly jewels with antennae, so nothing is missing (or it could really be a
moth!). Measuring 3 7/8" at the widest part of the wingspan and 3 7/8" tall from upper tip of wing to lower, this fabulous jewel will definitely be the most beautiful in the room! Stones are all clear, bright & sparkling. Excellent condition. $68
