FISH Jewelry
from the animal world
Some blow
bubbles and slither, like fish, snakes, and serpents, and some are our best friends
like dogs and cats. Their motif also makes really fun and whimsical
jewelry to wear.

DE ROSA
enameled 3" fish clip. Some of the finish is missing from the tail, but
this is still lovely, circa
1940. View

BOUCHER
attributed but unsigned fish brooch in gold tone with a topaz colored
unfoiled rhinestone belly and clear rhinestone accents, 3" by 2". The
design is amazing with ruffled and overlapping fins and tail and a swirl
for an eye. It shows only slight traces of wear on the finish and the
clear stones are slightly hazy. I think this is circa 1940 and it is
Boucher patent number 139674 from 1944.

EISENBERG ORIGINAL sterling vermeil dolphin fish brooch with glass pearls and
clear
rhinestones, and little red enameled lips, circa 1944, 2-1/2".
The red coloring you see on the back is only a reflection, not red
enameling This is the same piece seen in
Christie Romero’s "Warman’s Jewelry", 3rd Ed, page 193, and is also in Brunialti’s
"American Costume Jewelry, Art & Industry" on page 176,
where they say it was designed by Ruth Kamke and manufactured for
Eisenberg by Fallon & Kappel. This can be seen in the book,
"Eisenberg Originals, The
Golden Years of Fashion, Jewelry and Fragrance, 1920s-1950s" by Sharon
Schwartz & Laura Sutton on page 108.

FISH brooch with some of the loveliest enamel work I have ever
seen. The blue, cream and peach colored enamel work enhances this
fish brooch with glass pearl bubbles, a blue rhinestone eye and
clear rhinestone accents on the tail and fins. The setting is silver
pot metal and there is only very light enamel wear on one tiny
scale. The brooch is 2-3/4" by 2-1/2" and was made about 1940. This
design is similar to a fish fur clip made by Boucher, but the
Boucher settings are usually rhodium plated rather than pot metal.

STERLING silver and clear paste (rhinestones) fish brooch. In
addition to the dazzling clear rhinestones it has a green rhinestone eye and
an elongated
c-catch. It looks like it is European and it is 3-1/3" long. He’s
a great catch for sure and in excellent condition!

STARFISH brooch with red and aqua glass
cabochon in a heavily textured gold setting, 2-1/2" like #3576. The center
rhinestone is a wine red and the smaller red cabochons have a stripe of apple
juice color in them, unusual and absolutely beautiful. It has a hook on the back
that a chain can go through so this can also be worn as a pendant.

ANTHONY by Antonio Aquilino sterling vermeil fish brooch in gold wash
with clear rhinestones, red glass cabochon eye, signed "Anthony sterling" on
the back, 2-1/3" by about 1-1/2". Antonio immigrated from
Naples, Italy, in about 1920 but didn’t begin making jewelry until the
1940s. The use of sterling indicates that this was made during World War II
when there was a shortage of other metals.

FISH enameled fish brooch which I thought at first was by DeRosa.
It has a wonderful two-tone aqua enameled face and tail and red lips
with clear rhinestone accents all set into gold plated metal, 3" by 1-5/8".
It’s not signed and from the front it looks like a DeRosa, but the back doesn’t
give me a clue. I will just call it an unsigned fun figural fish brooch, circa
1940s.
