Thanks Scott for your awesome compliment, very glad you liked this pretty and unusual brooch
Thank you kivatinitz for your lovely praise and seeing the elegance here, that was always a hallmark of this brand, their designs were very original and sweetly feminine
Phil thank you for your fabulous comment & I love the idea of this piece as a shooting star or firework, have been looking for one to wear on 4th July & New Year's and I think you've found it for me! Great ideation my friend :)
Thank you Lori for your very kind comment & interest in the history of this co, the founder Antonio Aquilino like so many other Italian immigrant designers incl. some for Coro, Trifari, Ora etc, was very talented and his legacy was carried on by his daughter Antoinette. Many early pieces were signed Anthony which was the father's signature. Their small Rhode Island business never boomed like the more famous co's but they always made quality designs & I'm lucky to have a few
Searching thanks so much for your marvelous praise, I'm so glad you liked the layout of this piece, I love fan shaped jewelry and this was a most unusual find. It's wonderful to find a vintage prong set brooch like this one as they rarely have any missing stones. At @ 70 y.o. this one has held up very nicely :)
Pretty piece, Jenni!
