This Adolph Katz-designed brooch is a stunning example of the Retro Modern style and the pieces created for Coro’s high-end line in the 1940s. The vermeil-sterling-silver center looks like folds of a fabric with pavé-trimmed white metal at each end. The same trim is wound around the center. From there emanate two boughs of faceted, oval blue-topaz glass flowers with round ruby-glass accents. The pin closes with a fold-over safety clasp. This delicious brooch was advertised in the February 1, 1946 issue of Vogue.
