This is Brooch is from Sarah Coventry and is titled "Harvest Time Leaf" from 1968. I have seen many "Harvest Time Leaf" Sarah Coventry brooches but they all had clear stones. I have not been able to find one with unique blue and red stones. From Emmons and Sarah Coventry (A Schiffer Book) by Deborah Robinson: "Textured goldtone bouquet of wheat tied together with a golden bow enhanced with clear rhinestones. "Harvest time is a very happy time when a feeling of well being and prosperity is prevalent. Sarah's Harvest Time, the golden sheath of wheat sparkling dew drops, will give you the same feeling of happiness and contentment" Signed"c SARAH COV" Book price is upward of $30.

Coro in script or printed with the Pegasus was first used in 1983 Most jewelers began copyright rather than patent in 1955. However Coro patented designs through 1956 and sporadically after that. Coro is highly collectable and often can be found under signatures such as "Corocraft" "Coro Craft" and "Vendome." These vintage pieces are still priced reasonably however they are getting harder to find and will rise in price accordingly.

Patrica was not only my mother, but a successful interior decorator in the Los Angeles and Orange County area from 1959-2003. She decorated homes in many areas including Laguna Beach, Pacific Palisades, Rolling Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena and the surrounding area. She was a fun loving artistic personality and spent her retirement years serving as a Docent at the Bixby Museum of Art in Long Beach, California. If you purchase any of her vintage jewelry you will be in the company of someone with excellent taste.
