Wild L.S. Co. 1940s Retro Sterling Vermeil Brooch These L.S. big brooches are getting very scarce; I haven't been able to find one awhile now. This wonderful retro modern floral brooch is fashioned most gracefully in thick sterling with gold-filled plating with the leaves pointing every which way as if swayed and bandied in a tropical storm, making the brooch an exciting study in artistic movement. Little scalloped cups contain prong set faux pearls. The large flower has a ring of prong set unfoiled prong set clear stones with an unfoiled green stone in the center. Dimensions are 3 1/2" tall x 2 5/8" wide. Under magnification, the green stone has a tiny chip just beneath a prong. Very little of the vermeil is worn away. Condition is rated Very Good and priced accordingly. Marked in back in a diamond shaped plate, L.S. CO, 1/20- 12K G.F., ON STERLING. A beautiful, substantial and elegant jewel! $58 |
