Hattie Carnegie Pink Art Glass Brooch, Gold Plated, Wire Wrapped, 1960s Vintage Jewelry

*Description: This is a beautiful brooch by Hattie Carnegie with pink art glass and gray rhinestones which have been wire wrapped on a gold plated backing from the 1960s. The necklace that matches this brooch is a book piece in Costume Jewelry 101 by Julia C Carroll on page 139. She describes the stones like this: The stones look like dollops of pink ice cream embedded in faceted clear glass. Each pink stone is accented with x's of gold wire and small clear rhinestones in a "Hugs and Kisses" style. The brooch has a raised cartouche on the back with her name. I tested the gold surface and it tested at 10K gold surface metal. The pink art glass is actually a clear glass with the pink inside which gives the appearance of a flower petal or pink item inside the clear faceted glass. It is a unique brooch which is obviously designer quality. This would be a great addition to your vintage jewelry collection or make a great vintage gift!

Hattie Carnegie was born in 1886 and began marketing jewelry in 1939 to coordinate with her fashions. Many talented artists, under her direction, designed Carnegie jewelry. In addition to themed collections, she made many beautiful more traditionally styled jewelry pieces featuring beautiful rhinestones. Hattie Carnegie died in 1956 but her company continued making jewelry until around 1979. The most common found mark is “Hattie Carnegie” in script on a cartouche.
