Hollycraft Jewelry was founded in 1938 and is always signed and dated. They got their start in the jewelry business renting jewelry to the movies and movies starts. Their best known for their Christmas pins and colorful and intricate designs. Bright and vivid stones, that have many facets and are quite an eye catcher.
This fabulous flower like brooch is quite large and measures 2 1/2″ in diameter. There is a large pale purple stone in the center that is set down in and the 6 “petals” are curved and raised. Very nice dimensional look, especially with all the colorful faceted stones. This is yet another great example of Hollycraft and their use of pretty pastels. Not only the different sizes and shapes of stones but the colors! Blues, pinks, yellows, purples, and greens.
These stones are all set in a gold gilt brooch that is signed on the back: “Hollycraft 1958”.
