La Roco Star Brooch Pin Rainbow Jewel Gold Tone Rhinestones 1950s 2.5" VINTAGE

Brilliant reflective glass rhinestones in aurora borealis flash. Some gold tone loss of raised metal areas. All stones original. Can be worn as a pendant.  1950’s.  History:  Based in Seattle, Washington, American jewelry company Layko, Ross & co Inc. began its activity more than hundred years ago, in 1918. According to sources and jewelry pieces available on the vintage jewelry market, the company ceased operations in the 1960s. Traditionally, the designers used high quality materials for creating beautiful lockets, earrings, tie clasps and brooches, which have perfectly survived to this day. For example, this large filigree crescent brooch with citrine glass and honey topaz inserts. Jewelry from this manufacturer is quite rare, sold at auctions. Basically, La Roco products were not marked, but sold with a tag. Occasionally found on clips, the La Roco hallmark in script is for some reason almost never used on brooches.   2 1/2” approximate size.
