Like
a burst of fireworks, this brooch sprays out rhinestones with deep red
accents. The matching clip earrings echo the theme. A
wonderfully glitzy set from about 1960. Although unsigned, this
set has been identified as Kramer pieces from a marked blue
brooch of the same design and construction. |
