Here is my latest addition to my SHERMAN collection, a vintage sparkling brooch with blue rows of blue AB rhinestones. the brooch is signed SHERMAN, in a oval plate. (I believe the oval plate was used on his early pieces). All of the stones are set by hand in rhodium metal.
The "CIRCLE OF GLIMMERING BLUE " (my name for this brooch) is designed with two rows of small stones, at the top, that gradually grow into four rows, at the bottom, the size of the stones also grow, as seen in the 2nd from the bottom row. This brooch shows some sign that the previous owner definitely enjoyed wearing this piece, but it is still in great condition and shine.
The measurements are about 2 inches by 2 inches.
Beautiful piece!! Wonderful blue rhinestones.
jscott, thank you - the blue is outstanding in this one, I have to agree.
Stunning !
Great colors. Great brooch!
Very pretty - the blue is stunning!
I've heard it said that when you see rhinestones with more than 4 prongs -- in your case, the larger stones have 12! -- it is a mark of higher quality in general. And Sherman is nothing if not high quality :)
Congratulations on your sky-blue find!
