Marvella Lavender Faux Pearl Brooch
 |
The colors in this piece are so delicious!
And so is the style: three huge faux pearls in lavender resemble
eggplants or some exotic fruit. The enameled leaves are shaded in
blue and green, all with goldtone settings. The pearls and lower
leaf are articulated and dangling, so they'll sway as you move. One
small defect in the enameling on the lower leaf, otherwise super
condition. Marked: Marvella |

Vivid Floral Brooch & Earrings Set
 |
Best described as vivid, this brooch and clip
earring set is alive with color! Both the large navettes (marquise
shaped stones) and round stones in pink, fuchsia blues and olive are
beautifully offset with the japanned (black enameled) setting. The
plaque bearing the mark on the brooch is illegible because of the
enameling, but has been identified as Weiss from a brooch with a
legible mark. |
