Here are some highlights...
   
Never seen spectacular large Trifari 1940 fluttering Stars and Stripes, open backed settings on all the ruby baguettes... magnificent never seen MB Boucher 1941 Flower Spray, similar to a 1941 Trifari patent design (both probably based on a fine jewelry piece), ID'd from the Heptagon stone in a marked Jewels of Fantasy pin on site... Dior by Kramer pave and ruby pendant necklace and earrings, identified as part of the 'Shadow Box' collection, from the first 1951 production (with new advert)... 1970 Space Age Trifari gold spheres pendant necklace and earrings - with two new adverts...
   
classic Trifari Moonshell jelly belly seashell pin clip with 1949 patent and advert... Coro Jelly Belly Swordfish, reviving the 1945 patented and advertised sterling design, a regular Coro production habit in 1948-50... never seen Corocraft giant pave and topaz flower, mark identified to 1939-41, the chaton stones used in similar patented Verrecchio designs from 1941... and the ultimate classic Coro Adolph Katz figural - the Welsh Dresser pin, with 1948 patent...
   
Coro through the decades - 1937 Charlie McCarthy ventriloquists dummy pin clip, with moveable mouth (he belonged to Edgar Bergen, the father of the actress Candice Bergen)... wonderful pair of Coro Lovebirds on Flower Branches from the early or mid 1930s, using a pre-Candas mechanism (which on reflection is not the Fielding & Whitaker design referenced on the page, but something else)... gorgeous pastel enamel purple and blue flowers duette, with amethyst and sapphire stamens, dated 1940 from the use of the same mechanism as the patented 1940 Rose duette (with the pin attached to the unmarked side, to reverse the curve of the flower sprays)... 1950s Lovers under an Umbrella, causing a baguette earthquake - dated from a patented pin from that year using the same big C in a circle Coro mark...
