<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 4387138, member: 50&quot;]This one appears to be the same girl and is marked Alva. The seller gives this info, don&#039;t know if it&#039;s correct or not.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/202856747382" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/202856747382" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/202856747382</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This enchanting brooch ALVA by Diane Von Basedow Collection Museum Replica Art Nouveau pretty woman profile brooch is a vintage costume jewelry piece from ALVA Museum Co. (1948-1990) founded by Alfred Wolkenberg of Vienna. His studio hired many artists produce high quality reproductions of ancient jewelry and sculpture found in museums worldwide. The reproductions were then sold by the various museums. This particular piece bears the marks of artist Diane Von Basedow Collection whose trademarks were first issued in 1977 according to my research. The ALVA costume jewelry is highly collectible today.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This beautiful example of her work features a beautiful lady in profile with rhinestones in her hair in classic Art Nouveau style. The brooch is stunning with almost no sign of wear at all and is a beautiful reproduction of a classic gold work of art. The gold is still satin matte and the crystals are crisp and clear. It measures approx. 1 inch in diameter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
