Retro Pennino Sterling Silver Ruby Brooch by Pennino

About the Item

This striking and boldly scaled Retro Gold Washed & Sterling Silver Ruby Brooch by Pennino originates from the United States, Circa 1940. Features an elegant curving linear composition with three expansive floral clusters rendered in a framework of sterling silver with a beautiful gold washed finish. Studded with a triple faux ruby floret and leaf cluster of faceted oval stones, bullet cabochons reside in the center of each cluster with crystal pave accents. An excellent example of costume jewelry from the Retro-Art Deco era, this piece is beautifully formed in the highest quality materials and with a timeless elegance that will style as beautifully today as when first produced and style well with a wide array of dress. Signed Pennino on the reverse of the brooch. In Excellent Vintage Condition. In 1908, Pasquale first marked his jewelry with the Pennino signature in a small New York goldsmith shop, initiating the family's tradition of creating exquisite jewelry. However, it was not until 1926 that the Pennino Brothers officially established their company. Their factory was situated on East 49th Street, while their sales office was on 47th Street. Otto took on the role of jewelry designer, Frank was the jeweler and master craftsman, and Jack was the salesman responsible for managing their major accounts, such as Spaulding's of Chicago and Saks 5th Avenue. Their jewelry was also sold through numerous other high-end department and jewelry stores. American, Circa 1940 Dimensions: Width: 2.75" x Length: 2.75"
