Fine Du Jay Pave Apple Brooch

About the Item

Fine Du Jay crystal pave apple with faux sapphire bullet cabochon at base. Signature transluscent and opaque green cold enamel, 1930's USA. Excellent Condition, Unsigned. Length 2 1/8" height, Width 1.5". Du Jay was probably founded in 1934 by Jules Hirsch and Jacques H. Leff as a division of Hirsch & Leff, a company that made precious jewelry. It operated from 1934 to 1972, but the pieces in these pictures are probably from the 30s and 40s. These are "attributed" to Du Jay, as very few of their pieces are signed. There is a familiar set of subject matter, wonderful enameling, tiny pave rhinestones, jewel-tone glass beads, and other characteristics that those familiar with this designer can spot right away. Excellent Condition, Unsigned. L 2 1/8" height, W 1.5".
