Morning Glory Collects Larry Vrba Jewelry

We work constantly to offer extensive jewelry research, pictures and information in our references, " Jewel Chat " and " Morning Glory Collects ".
We do not, however, offer valuation or appraisal services or answer individual questions regarding jewelry or antiques. Appraisers can be found on the LINKS page.

Larry Vrba is a wonderful jewelry maker and a good friend. He has been making jewelry for over 40 years, and was the head designer at Miriam Haskell Jewelry in the 1970's. Larry makes jewelry for the Broadway Stage as well as for boutiques, balls and vintage jewelry shops. His pieces are almost always quite large, usually four inches or more, and he has a huge collection of old beads and rhinestones from which to fashion them.

The brooch on the left is one of my favorites as it has such a rich combination of stones and colors. This particular piece really too large to wear, but is a jeweled sculpture. Each and every piece is hand made, so it is not always easy to get his jewelry. It has never been mass produced. His poured glass petal bouquets, vase and basket brooches and Christmas tree brooches are favorites.
