I was a Sarah Coventry Jewelry Dealer back when I was still in my teens, and I'm going to be Sixty next month. This is a piece I displayed, but never wore, nor did I ever part with it, until now. So, I guess that's the whole history of this particular item. I'd have to say it's about 45 years old now. Not quite an antique, but getting there in another 5 years.

Personally, I always thought this was one of the nicest pieces I had to show. I have a lot of others, but this was a favorite. I have some sets with earrings/bracelet/necklace or pin, but the earrings are mostly clip-on, so not so popular these days. I will be posting them over the next couple of weeks.
