1950s Schreiner New York Jet Black Brooch Pin

[svgallery name="Black Jet Brooch"]

Magnificent three dimensional brooch of black facet glass in marquise and pear shapes set in dogtooth prongs. The pièce de résistance is the large black glass tear drop that is uniquely attached on the reverse. Regrettably, every photo shows the reflection of my camera/hands in this stone. I assure you it is clear and simply a dark pool of reflection. Another layer of prong set stones is wired on top of the tear drop. Back of brooch has applied oval plaque that reads SCHREINER NEW YORK.

Measurements

2.5 inches at it’s widest 1.75 inches in length 1 inch in depth

Condition

A few of the prongs are not set on the stones perfectly straight. The pin back is not the same color metal as the rest of the brooch. I cannot tell if it has been replaced. It fits into the clasp quite nicely and the lock mechanism turns freely. It’s really neither here nor there as no one will even be able to see it while you are wearing this high style brooch. They’ll be too busy asking questions and trying not to drool on your black beauty.

Grade: Very Good
