According to the book Inside the Jewelry Box, Vol. 1 by Ann Pitman, pieces with this hallmark are very rare. In fact, she states that she hardly sees them at auction. Also in her book on page 20, you can find a clip like this with an amethyst stone at the center. She states that her fur clip is in fair condition. Our clip is not perfect either. It is a fine, well crafted pansy in sterling with a heavy gold wash. It also has black enameling on the top two petals. The amber colored stone at the center is held in with enhanced prongs. The stone looks so real! In the world of collecting costume jewelry is thought that if you see a piece of jewelry with this mark, you should purchase it as it may never come your way again. The hallmark appears on the reverse.
Condition: Good vintage. This clip has some enamel loss and some wear to the vermeil. As with many collectables, rarity supercedes condition sometimes. We have left this piece just as found.
Measurements: 1 1/2" long and 1 3/4" wide.
