Vintage Jewelry Owlet Brooch by Coro is Dated to 1948


Vintage Jewelry Owlet Brooch Dated 1948


Highly collectible, this vintage brooch is dated to 1948 in Julia Carroll's highly respected book
Collecting Costume Jewelry.  It is identified as the design which was released during 1948.  Although there are many versions of this particular brooch style, this is one of the rarest designs by Coro.
It measures 1 5/8 inches or slightly over 4 cm at the widest point. It is 1.5 inches or 4 cm in height.

Fireworks vibrancy in color!

The crystal rhinestones are cut into a multitude of gem shapes. There are well over 150 stones set into the brooch alone.

The brooch and earring set is designed in a convex shape. There are several layers of rhinestones, creating a magnificent three dimensional effect. Each stone is set into prong mountings, pinned into place and soldered.

It is a joy to examine the ever changing color.

Typical of Juliana, there is no maker's mark. The brooch measures 2.75 inches or 7 cm across and is slightly over 1/4 inch or 1 cm in depth. The earrings measure 1 1/8 inch across or slightly over 2.5 cm at the widest point.
