MOO ROO rhinestone crested Fish Brooch. the fish measures 3" long by 2" at the fins. there are gold RS on his head and then blue and smokey RS on the body. Really quite a nice brooch.
I really don't have alot of information on the company, the main product was designer purses with Ostrich Feathers for one, they did make jewelry but there is little info found. Except for the following:
Charleston fashion designer Mary Norton’s company, an American dream that started at the dining room table of her James Island home and led her to Hollywood’s highest circles, has ended in bankruptcy. Mary Norton Inc., which she founded 12 years ago as Moo Roo, filed for liquidation. Jul 20, 2009 Updated Dec 8, 2016
{ does that make a piece more valuable or less }
Beautiful fish and nice large size, it has a lot of movement & such pretty rhinestone colors. Read more about this talented lady in the Charleston Home magazine online, she designed gorgeous jewel encrusted handbags for many famous celebrities. Cool find!
Awesome little fish!!
Mary - well noted, thank YOU :)
thank you all for the kind comments and the information on further research. Lori
