    I just found this in one of my Mom's old beaded handbags. She has been gone now over 10 years, being she had a talent for hiding things as she aged, I am still going through things that belonged to her. She loved antiques, art, jewelry, crystal, and so many other things
    Since she was such an avid collector, I take my time making sure she hasn't hidden any of her treasures in old bandaid boxes, coat pockets, etc. If I close my eyes I can recall the night she wore this, she had on a beautiful long black chiffon gown with a white and gold shawl and used the brooch to secure the shawl to the dress. My parents were heading to Lincoln Center to see Madame Butterfly. She looked so beautiful that night. I love how a beautiful piece of jewelry can bring back such a magnificent memory.

      Thank you all for your beautiful comments. My Mom was one in a million, and she did have very eclectic taste and knowledge that exceeded anything I had ever seen, especially since back in the '60s to 80's everything she learned about vintage pieces she had read in books. I will definitely take a picture of the back and post later this week. And thank you all for making this journey down memory lane so much fun!

      Can I click the "Love Button" twice, how about three times?
      I love this brooch. A magnificent design this is. Sea Horses look like this when pregnant, male & female. ( https://phys.org/news/2015-09-male-seahorse-human-pregnancies-remarkably.html )
      Your story is marvelous, Thank you. Sorry for your loss. My mother-in-law was the same way but with cash. Our family checked all books, stacks of newspaers, inside the lining of her coats & inside shoe soles. We found about $10,000.00 in bills. Thanks again for sharing.
