To identify Sherman brooches, first look for a tag. The jewelry maker used branded paper tags to mark some of its brooches. However, most pieces were unmarked, and even those that were may have lost their paper labels over the years. As a result, the identification process usually requires an examination of a brooch's characteristics. Sherman was known for its three-dimensional brooches created by layering pieces into a domed shape. Another common trait of Sherman brooches is the navette crystal, which has a pointed back that you can see when you turn the brooch to the side. Since other makers produced similar brooches, experts generally recommend consulting a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer when trying to determine if an unmarked brooch is a Sherman.
