Stunning, large, and a masterpiece in design, this is a Sarah Coventry classic! Advertised in McCall's magazine in 1962, the 'Galaxy' brooch/pendant features four multi-colored ceramic stones tipped with sparkling aurora borealis (AB) crystals, that sit amidst four gold-colored open-work metal quadrants that are decorated buy with a central faux pearl and a myriad of AB stones, and that lead the eye to a large raised faux pearl at the center of the brooch/pendant. The bright and shiny gold-plated back includes a secure pin as well as a hook so that the piece can be attached to a chain and worn as a pendant. Elegant, eye-catching, and versatile, it will make a great addition to any jewelry collection. The Galaxy brooch pin is shown on page 46 of 'Sarah Coventry Jewelry' by Monica and Patricia Clements, and also page 51 of 'Identifying Sarah Coventry Jewelry' by Sandra Sturdivant and Shirley Crabtree.

-----------------------------------------
ABOUT SARAH COVENTRY JEWELRYSarah Coventry jewelry was founded in 1949 by Charles H. Stuart, who named the company after his wife, Caroline Emmons. In the same year, he started Emmons Jewellers, which was named after his granddaughter. From the 1950s through to the 1970s, both companies distributed and sold their creations through home parties and shows. Sarah Coventry was anchored in Newark N. Y. And their jewelry was designed and manufactured by others under contract, and purchased designs from freelancers, as well as hiring firms such as DeLizza & Elster, whose house brand was Juliana, to create its chokers, necklaces, brooches, watches, earrings, and bracelets. Sarah Coventry and Emmons went out of business in 1981.

THE BUSY BOWERBIRD STORY
Busy Bowerbird collects and resells beautiful vintage and estate fashion jewelry and 20th-century home décor collectibles, which we ship from either San Francisco, USA, or Sydney, Australia. (Please see details in the Shipping section.)

We present items as they are and clearly indicate their condition. Many collectors prefer their jewelry to look genuine and authentic, which means showing a bit of the wear that naturally occurs with age. Likewise, vintage and antique porcelain may show signs of crazing. Only time can achieve these effects, however, you can polish your Busy Bowerbird treasure just the way you like.

Every item of jewelry we sell is in wearable condition. If there are any stones missing, we will identify them in photos and our descriptions. The same applies if there is a minor issue with an item, e.g., it requires a minor repair. Likewise, we will point out any tarnish, scratches, loss of plating, etc.

We sell all items “As Is” and ship them in an appropriate-sized gift box, packed in bubble wrap. Every piece in our collection has been pre-loved and brings its own (possibly secret) story. Thanks for stopping by!
