DeNICOLA blue
and green poured glass and clear rhinestone 2-1/2" brooch.
View
#X21054

MARKED ‘Depose’
so it is French.
Versions were made by Chanel, Carnegie, DeNicola and Andamodes New York, and
probably others as well.

CARNEGIE
poured glass bracelet and earrings. #C25032

DeNICOLA
blue pink and green poured glass set in gold tone 2" domed brooch.
View #X24920

POURED glass brooches.

DeNICOLA poured glass
pink and green pin, 2 3/4" wide by 2-5/16".
View #X24784

While these are not identical overall, the tiny enameled flowers are
very similar, as are the crystal elements.

DEROSA unsigned
2-1/2" fur clip with lavender enameled violets on a crystal circle.
View #d21154

MB BOUCHER crystal
circle brooch with rose and pale yellow enameled flowers, 2-1/2".
View #M27568

Clips like these were also seen signed by REINAD.

DeROSA 4-5/8" floral fur clip in gold tone with red and clear
rhinestones. #d19809

UNSIGNED
4-5/8" fur clip in gold tone with green and clear rhinestones, identical to
the one at left, but this one is
unsigned. #d20825.

DEROSA floral dress clip
with cream, blue and green enamel, red glass bead centers and clear rhinestones
accents, light enamel wear, 3-5/8".
View View #d34536

GOLD TONE flower bouquet brooch with clear
rhinestones and artificial pearls, 3-5/8". This is similar to
the DeRosa at the left, but it is far less desirable. It has a
flatter look and lower quality stones, but it’s still a pretty brooch. #Y29529

Pieces as similar as these make me wonder who made the
original and who copied it!

According to those who worked in the jewelry industry, the practice of designers using each other’s pieces as inspiration
was common, as was the "borrowing" of ideas for the use
and combinations of beads,
findings and designs. The sets shown directly above, one by Haskell and one
marked Amourelle, demonstrate this. In this case though, Frank Hess designed both
necklaces, but for
different companies.

HC Carnegie gold
tone with green and clear rhinestones exotic head two-pronged fur clip,
3-5/8". Both
the earrings and necklace on this clip dangle.

HC

EXOTIC
unsigned lady
brooch in gold tone with red and clear rhinestones, 3-5/8".
View #Y24316

These same ladies have been seen with the REINAD mark as well.

ROSENSTEIN
portrait brooch with artificial pearls set in textured gold tone with
clear rhinestone accents.
View #X22409

FLORENZA
portrait brooch/frame. It is interesting that this is so similar to the
Rosenstein portrait brooch shown above, and that the portrait is the same
as the Haskell/Vrba brooch at the right.
View
#X21469

HASKELL/VRBA this fabulous portrait pin was made for a Broadway play
by Larry Vrba when he was the designer for Miriam Haskell Jewelry. There was more regal-looking jewelry made for the same
play, and I dream of finding other pieces.
