marked silver gilt bee motif set- a spectacular pendant, collar and

has the front of each link decorated with ferns and scrolls and a beaded
edge. The collar is 15" by 5/8"wide; the pendant body is 1" by 1-1/3",

VICTORIAN dragonfly and poppy sash pin with lovely green rhinestones set in a matte
gold tone metal finish, circa 1900, 2-5/8" by 1-5/8". This has got to be my
very favorite sash pin ever! The brooch itself is curved while the pin back
is straight, so there’s room for a scarf or a hanky to run between them. This
very same piece can be seen Christie Romero’s book "Warman’s Jewelry, Ed. 3" on
page 111.

to it’s popularity. That is a long time, as many pieces from that era
were only sold for one season.

BARCLAY brooch of green enameled
leaves, red enameled ladybug and clear rhinestone pave pods, a large
3-5/8" by 3". Barclay jewelry was made by by Rice-Weiner, Alvin and
Robert Rice, Louis Mark, circa 1950, Rhode Island. This brooch is
unsigned but came from the company archives.

View #X23718

It comes with the

BARCLAY original design art work for this brooch. It is
interesting to see that the original idea was for the pods to be green
enamel, but in the finished brooch leaves are green instead. The design
process of jewelry is documented here. To see more jewelry design art
work, click HERE. I
have not so far seen another brooch like this and often wonder if it was
made as a sample but never put into production.
