About the Item
This antique Victorian white-gold bar-brooch or tie-pin from the Edwardian period with Faberge-style elements features bezel settings with three square-cut 10mm sugarloaf aquamarine cabochons with indistinct schiller and greenish sheen, plus four brilliant-cut gray diamonds with black inclusions. The last two photos were taken in natural light to best show the chatoyant effects in the open-backed semi-translucent blue stones, which appear like ice refractions.
The fine details, arrangement, and combination of bezel settings in our 5.5-cm-long geometric piece strongly resemble the sapphire-and-diamond gold brooch #244 in the hardcover catalogue, Carl Faberge: Goldsmith To The Tsar, that accompanied the Nationalmuseum exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1997. Enabling light to enter from all around the bottom of the blue stones, the similarly aligned diamond-shaped settings are intricately decorated with serrated rims, as well as with rectangular-openwork filigree and embroidery-like punchwork found on other Faberge brooches before the family fled to Switzerland in war-time 1917. While our brooch is signed on the pin with an indistinguishable linear impression including letters, it is unclear without closeups precisely how the book piece is marked. Dating the brooch craftsmanship between 1896-1908 in St. Petersburg where Russian Cyrillic letters were used to mark Faberge works, the book notes that its brooch marks included the initials of Faberge work-master Andrej Gorianov and assay-master A. Richter.
Helping to date our brooch to the early 1900s in Europe before the first world war, its C-clasp has a flip-up lever safety catch that was in use around 1900, while the modern safety clasp that soon made it obsolete was invented in 1911. Also, at the beginning of the 20th Century the use of yellow gold in jewelry wained, while interest in white metals surged.

Schreiner 1950s ProngSet UniqueGreen ABCrystals PaveCrystalLeaves Silver Brooch
By Schreiner of New York
Located in Chicago, IL
This colorful prong-set crystal spray brooch by Schreiner New York was made to compliment luxury clothing by a U.S.-based fashion designer, such as Pauline Trigere, in the late 1950s. This piece is special because it shows the unique decorative technique that Schreiner used for a period of several years in reaction to the limited availability of the first aurora-borealis (AB) stones by Swarovski in 1956, which had been designed for Christian Dior.
In response to the availability of only the initial AB color that mostly reflected bright blue and the high demand from other designers, Schreiner's creative family soon applied transparent glass paint to create additional colors, such as the light-green painted AB crystals on this brooch. According to Henry Schreiner's late daughter who took over the business with her jewelry-designer husband, this enabled them to become the first to produce costume jewelry with AB stones in different colors, while Swarovski took several years to introduce similar colors.
All original painted AB crystals are intact in this brooch, which is significant since a lost stone...
