thinking spring here I guess. I found this 3.75" long brooch at that little thrift shop's sale in December. I don't see one exactly like it in Pitman's Juliana Jewelry reference book. There is one ( also labeled unsigned) in Tracy Tolkien's book. In the clip earring tray at the sale there were green rhinestone earrings in the same color but a single rhinestone in the center and they were signed Tara. ( I guess I should have bought the earrings, but I can't really wear them and they were gone when I went back to look for them. If this pin was originally Tara, I read in the Juliana book that Delizza and Elster did manufacture for Tara. And surprisingly, this brooch is identical (except the color is different) to a Weiss brooch on eBay. (number 392131661142). I'd appreciate hearing your opinion on this one.
Gorgeous flower brooch, wonderful find
Eileen, I'm sure you're right. I looked at the site you recommended and nothing there exactly like this. It does however match that signed Weiss I found on eBay. The stem treatment is quite distinctive with the little rhinestones at the bottom. Yes, it's a shame I lost out on the earrings, but better luck next time.

I would have said Weiss also, they made a lot of flower designs with set stones, beautiful !~
Looking forward to passing some things on. How do you do it? Do you just post them or email?
