This breathtaking mid-century Sherman brooch glitters like a snowflake caught in a beam of winter sunrise. Set with brilliant aurora borealis rhinestones that flash lilac, ice-blue, lemon, and soft rose, this floral-snowburst design is prong-set in glowing gold plating — a warm counterpoint to its cool shimmer.
Created circa 1955–1960, this brooch carries the signature Sherman hallmark along with an engraved production number “626”, suggesting a documented and possibly limited series. Sherman pieces from this era were celebrated for their couture quality, hand-set stones, and masterful plating — often called “Jewels of Elegance” in advertising of the time.
A standout winter-magic statement for coats, dresses, velvet wraps, knit berets, or jewelry collectors who treasure the best of Canadian mid-century design.
