Description

The listing, An Awesome Icy Crystal Brooch has ended.

I have no idea of the age of this brooch but somehow I think it to be at least vintage and since there is no category for vintage, this is as close as I could get!
I just happened to be looking through my "Victorian Trading Co." Catalog and came across a brooch that looked just like this brooch although larger.
It was called the "Clara Bow" brooch. Measuring 3", once pinned to the lace lapel of Edwardian bodices, the art deco ribbon of icy crystals was inspired by circa 1910 classic and this brooch looks just like the one in the catalog.
However my brooch measures 1 1/4" X 1 1/4", it has the three loops, two tail ends, center loop and chevron detail.
There are no missing crystals, and the flip over lock clasp is in great working order. There are no makers marks, jewelers marks or any marking as to silver, sterling silver, etc. But since I've had it, I've never had to clean or polish it.
It's a beautiful brooch with character and charm.

The scarf is for display purposes only. There is no remorse returns, you bid on it, you won it, you bought it. You must have a Listia verified address (LVA). If you don't, either don't bid or have it before the bidding ends. If you don't have LVA by 7th day you forfeit your credits and I relist it and keep your credits. No nasty or mean comments towards me or my participants and no advertising on my auction page or you will be blocked. That being said, I'm here to have fun so let's get out there and laugh till the cows come home, till tears run down our legs!!! And happy bidding to all!!!!!

Yes they were in Houston by Harris Co park & their house had 2 trees on it while it under water..They never would have survived..They felt blessed that they had time to pack up what was important to them & even do the same for a very senior neighbor so her family could just grab & go when they came to get her
