Here are two brooches I bought today at a large flea market over in Germany. A buck each. The Tulips brooch is marked "PL" has has a copyright mark. The only thing that comes up as "PL" is Park Lane. The crescent moon brooch is marked "ACONDA" and also has a registered trademark symbol.
Both in perfect condition.
ACONDA comes up as "ANACONDA" in a Google search. Park Lane is the only thing I can find for "PL".
Help! Thanks.......... :-)
Hi Efe, PL for Padma Lakshmi? She has a jewelry line :-)
I leave you the search for confirmation ;-D
For ACONDA, found this, same signature:

Ha! Seem to be more in Germany, Google for ACONDA SCHMÜCK !
kyratango, what would I do without you.... I know....still be looking on Google! Thanks, going to check it out.
Never heard of Padma Lakshmi. Didn't find a brooch like the one I have, so I don't know...could be her, could be Park Lane....I won't sleep at all tonight now...lol~!
It's only because there are more ideas in two heads than in only one !
:-D
Wish you a good searching!
LOLOL that's right, kyratango! Well, whatever these brooches are, I think they're beautiful. Well made costume "schmuck" appeals to me more than something made of precious metal.
Apparently others haven't found the company either:

I also see a lot of pieces marked Aconda but no information on the maker.
@katherinescollections - interesting that there is no firm information anywhere. That feather brooch is beautiful! One day, I will find a frame suitable for my brooch collection, arrange them, and hang them on the wall. Thanks for helping.
valentino97 - I got a shadow box frame from the thrift shop yesterday, and am in the process of organizing the brooches. Now, where to hang it...hmmmm.... :)
Wow! Can't wait to see the display :-))
kyrtango, I'll post a photo when it's finished. I still need a couple more brooches to fill it up, LOL!
Oooh, that gives me something to look forward to, can't wait to see it. :)
