    I bought this brooch (?) some time ago . I thought it was unusual. It originally came from a boutique in Clark Street, Chicago.

    For a brooch it is quite large measuring 4 inches across. It is fastened with "pins" that have to be thrust through fabric and then little caps are placed over these pins. (Could be quite dangerous close to the heart!!).

    The whole image looks as if it has been cut out in one piece : no joins of any sort .

    I don't know what the material is. It's not marked but the "silver" is untarnished.

    On the reverse is a signature I cannot fully make out. The Christian name is Rita and the surname starts with the letters Sch.....

    Do you know this designer, please? I'd love to know who she is and perhaps see more of her creations.

    My THANKS in advance.
