Jenni, this is such an elegant basket. So pretty!
Wow! This brooch is gorgeous!! From 1948, you could have fooled me. In perfect showcase new condition. Lovely with the pastel fruit salad stones. You my friend have the eye for quality. What a great find!!!!
I LOVE pastel multi color gem jewelry. That is so pretty.
Beautiful metalwork for the basket, and the use of different stone shapes not usually scattered nicely form this beauty !~
BEAUTIFUL basket brooch Jenni!!
So Spring Beautiful! Can I click the "Love" Button TWICE?
To thank you all for the thoughtful love

Thank you MrsT for your wonderful compliments, I am delighted you liked this basket & agree its quite elegant
FreshAir I am truly grateful for your awesome praise, thank you so much I do try to be selective in my jewelry choices and was thrilled to find this classic Bogoff book piece, as you say it appears never worn and so clean. However I've said before that I am very lucky with my Bogoff pieces, they really made sturdy jewels for the long haul
Thank you Celiene for your super comment, I must say that while the deeper gems ruby, sapphire & emerald have a beautiful dramatic look, I always prefer pastel rhinestones esp in the Spring and summer months, they are so cheerful and timely
Phil thank you for your fabulous praise, I too love this baguette basket which also came in all pink as seen in the Carroll book. The multitude of different stone shapes is so great here, and if you look closely they form two small and one large flower, a very cool design
Thank you Scott for your terrific compliment, it took me a long time to find a really nice vintage basket brooch & when I saw this it was the 'aha' moment :)
Thanks Pacem for your truly kind comment I am so pleased you liked this basket, a hint of springtime after a long tedious winter
Lol Alfie I am super glad you would love this twice, thank you!! The colors and design just say Spring don't they, light and upbeat, the days are getting longer and sunnier, we can all get out and do more now. Appreciate your fantastic comment thank you so much
Thank you StraightArrow for the love of this Bogoff basket, it is so kind of you and gratefully appreciated
Thanks Daisy and MarmorealMaiden for the thoughtful love, it is very much appreciated!
