Featured When/where broken rhinestone brooch.

Thought this piece was super nifty. Figured 20’s-40’s but I seem to recall the safety clasp can stretch back a bit further. It came from the Italian estate I posted some things form. Surely not too valuable a thing but I really liked it

 

Check it very closely for initials LN = Little Nemo.
The image finding machine found one on Etsy that is marked LN. Knowing the maker's name, there is so much information about Little Nemo jewelry on the internet.

I’ll look! Can’t imagine it’s not that. I actually finally went ahead and downloaded the google app so I could do easy image searches. I guess now I have to actually do them. It just seems like cheating somehow lol. How handy though.

 

@J Dagger
Thanks for posting it anyway. It's pretty and this is the first time I've ever heard of Little Nemo jewelry!

You could give that broken brooch a bath, and make a refrigerator magnet out of it. I've been doing that off and on over the last few years. Sparklies is on my refrigerator.

 

I believe I’ve maybe heard that name on this site before, not in the wild though. That’s actually a really cool idea. Novel way to put old broken jewelry to use that doesn’t have enough value to justify paying to have fixed. Next time I come across some little magnets I will put them to the side for this.

 

Great broach,poss titled after 'Little Nemo In Slumberland' by Windsor McCay.

 

my mother use to make decorate small Christmas trees with broken brooches . At one time they sold for $150 . But those days are gone.

 

The trees or these brooches? Trees I assume. That’s a cool idea. I thought of making an ornament from one this year.
