I am a lover
of Art. I fell in love with the jewelry from Russia because most
of what I've seen truly is "Art to Wear". Below you will
find among vintage items hand painted brooches of various scenes. These are Mother of Pearl
based are handpainted, signed and in some cases they are dated.
Though these are not VINTAGE, I've decided to offer them to you based on
the sheer sense and belief that these works of art are a wonderful
investment... these ARE tomorrow's treasures to be worn and loved
today.

PS519 SOLD
Russian handpainted floral pin. This is not signed, however it has the numbers 692 painted in gold on the front. I've no idea what the back is made of - best guess black painted pewter and I believe there is a top layer of lacquered wood with the handpainted floral design. There is a symbol on the back and I don't know what it is or means. Very pretty piece but I don't know much about it.
