Description
A gold-filled circle of round prong-set rhinestones with a ribbed double heart at the top. The ribbed heart and circle give it a sentimental feel of a Victorian Revival "dearest" brooch, made in a mid-century style. It's stamped 1/20 12K GF and signed CC for Curtis Creations by Curtman Company. Gold-filled gold is a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal, which makes it much more durable than standard plating.
Styling ideas:
- Pin it to a blouse collar or a velvet jacket for a romantic look.
- Use it at the neckline of a high-collar dress or on a scarf.
- Thread the pin through the ends of a necklace, to convert it into a pendant
About Curtis Creations: Curtman Company, which sold jewelry under the Curtis Creations name, was a costume jewelry maker in Providence, Rhode Island. From the 1940s through the 1960s, the company built its name on refined, expertly crafted costume jewelry. Its designs leaned classic and polished, favoring delicate flowers, fine filigree work, and a “timeless aesthetic” over anything bold, oversized, or novelty-driven.
