Schreiner Signed Milk Glass and Clear Rhinestone Japanned Brooch

Schreiner jewelry is among the most elaborate (and most expensive) costume jewelry on the market today. While I enjoy all costume jewelry companies, Schreiner creations are particularly lovely and intriguing.

This example features milk glass stones and a special trademark of Schreiner jewelry. Every second round, clear stones is set upside down. While this brooch is signed, many Schreiner creations are unsigned, and the presence of these inverted stones is a good way to identify and attribute Schreiner pieces. Sometimes, all of the stones are inverted, though sometimes, only a few are, as in this brooch.

I have a couple more items by this designer, and I look forward to sharing them. Thank you for stopping by, and enjoy!
