This 2 1-2"W basket brooch has multi color rhinestone flowers & green leaves in a handled white baguette and round rhinestone basket, on sterling silver. Jay Flex sterling round mark on back, ca 1950s-1960s
Such a lovely basket of flowers! Gorgeous colors and just the right amount of clear stones to balance! :)
I love this especially since I only know it against what Sherman produced. Sherman probably seen this since he worked for Jay Flex before he started his own company. On comparison, this gem is as good as Sherman was making.
I agree with Phil. It is a gorgeous little basket. :)
Wow! Impressive!
Sweet! Love JayFlex. Their design repertoire is amazing. Wonder who those early designers were. Almost appears Katz-like.
Thank you very much for the love everyone

Thank you DejaVu for your super compliments, I thought this flower basket had an asymmetric beauty & was very springlike, glad you liked it too
Phil that's such terrific praise to put this Jay Flex on par with Sherman, and I do know he had worked there so maybe they tapped some of his genius creativity. I am also thrilled to have found a nice Jay Flex piece to show you, they were big on wire working but there are still many of their rhinestone beauties out there
Thank you Mike for your wonderful compliment, this basket was a happy acquisition from Canada & I'm delighted you liked it too
Pascale thank you for your lovely praise & I'm truly glad this basket had the wow factor for you, if you like it then it must be a winner my friend
Thank you Daisy for your awesome compliments and I'm so pleased you are a Jay Flex fan, hope to find more down the road (they are decidedly unique, a quality I love). I can see the Coro style here as well, good eye
Thank you Thomas for the kind love for all my posts today, you are truly nice and I'm always very grateful for your generous support
Many thanks Lauren for the love for this flower basket brooch, very glad you liked it and I'm always grateful for your wonderful thoughtfulness

Karen, Penny & rhineisfine, your fantastic praise is making me blush, thank you so much!
Karen, a spirit lifter for sure & gives one a 'basketful' of happiness;
Penny, lovely is a perfect word for it;
rhineisfine, it certainly was a great find for me and came from its inception, your beautiful Canada. I hope to get another Jay Flex soon & have another vintage Canadian maker that hasn't been seen here in awhile coming soon
