Sterling
Vermeil WWII Retro Moderne Bow Pin with HUGE Sapphire Glass. We have for you this fabulous one stone wonder. This large brooch represents true retro modern at it's purest. Retro modern describes the styles not only most popular, but also most resourceful use of material during WWII. With the US government calling in base metals for planes and ships, costume jewelers turned to sterling which was plentiful. After running out of European stones, the top jewelry houses began to use only one stone or a few in jewelry, and finally turned to Brazil for large rhinestones, thereby creating the one-stone wonder! The faceted sapphire glass in this brooch is 28mm square--that's nearly an inch, unfoiled and rises a full 5/8 from table to culet! That's one big stone! Set in sterling with gold wash, the brooch is 3 1/2" tall and 2 5/8" wide, plus it's plump with multiple ribbon curls, rising a full 1 1/8" above the pin stem. This is a brooch that will make you feel as glamorous as Joan Crawford during the 1940s. Marked sterling in back, the pin is in near-Excellent condition with no noticeable gold wash loss and only minor wear in back. $75

Gorgeous
Vintage French Rhinestone Brooch or Sash Pin.
Probably 1940s. There are so many ways you can wear this delightfully dazzling French brooch or sash pin--from a raggedy jean jacket to evening wear, bags, hats. It will hold a scarf securely and attractively. This heavy, well made gold plated piece offers 15mm oval prong set high lead content foiled rhinestones, with a larger, fatter shaped oval in the center. The back is fastened with a pull-pin trombone clasp; probably safer than any clasp ever made! The pin is 2 1/4" wide x 1 3/4: wide. It is in Very Good condition, with minor peppering or wear in some of the stones, none of which seems to effect the look or flashing brilliance of this beauty. The mark FRANCE can be found on the ledge that holds the trombone end of the clasp. Enjoy for $48

Fabulous
Large Plump 1930's Sapphire Blue Rhinestone Floral Brooch This exceptional floral brooch has the quality you can expect from a top jewelry house of the 1930s, yet is unsigned. The brooch is beautifully designed and constructed, with a riveted, layered silvery pot meal setting featuring six large (7/8") faceted unfoiled blue glass ovals prong- set openback, centered with a floret of pave crystal rhinestones. The beauty of these stones is overwhelming--the color of the oval stones are a true sapphire blue. The leaves are textured and enameled green. At 4 1/4" tall and 2 3/4" wide, this is a big heavy brooch. It will definitely weigh down a light fabric, so pin it into a bra strap or slip if you wear it with a light blouse or dress. Otherwise, this is what they used to call a "coat brooch," because women wore them on their coats or jackets. But you could use it to pin together that stylish sash, or to decorate your bag. With this brooch and your smile, you'll feel like a million dollars. Very Good condition, with wear to high points on the enamel. $85
