Circa: 1938-50
Condition: Used
Type: Brooch
Manufacturer: H. Pomerantz Inc, N.Y.
This is an original Jelly Belly bird brooch (it came out of a personal collect of an antique jewelry collector) manufactured by H. Pomerantz probably in the late 30's. He measures just over 4-1/2 inches. With rhinestone plumage and a red eye this is a catch for anyone, serious collector as well as lover of the unique and hard to find costume jewelry.

The Lucite stone body is slightly loss, but there is no chance of it falling out. This one is in excellent condition, showing the normal signs of wear. Even the pin is as straight as can be.
A little about the designer: Herman Pomerantz produced belt buckles, buttons, and jewelry from the 19th century, possibly as early as the 1890s. The company continued until 1960. He patented several designs during the 1930's, which is no doubt when this piece was made. In the 19th century H. Pomerantz seems to have limited production to belts, buckles, book chains and buttons. Pomerantz did make a great deal of very large Victorian Revival jewelry also during the 1930's. Jewelry with textured backs and Aurora Borealis rhinestones are dated from the 1960's. There are at least 4 signatures: "H. Pomerantz & Co. N.Y.," "H. Pomerantz Inc. N.Y. which is what is on this brooch," H. Pomerantz Co. and just "H. Pomerantz." Some try to date the jewelry by the signatures, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to their use.
All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. |
