Here we have a superb vintage Brooch signed by the Canadian designer - Sarah Coventry. The 1960s era brooch consists of a 'Catherine Wheel' type arrangement in a silvertone finish around a large, bright, silver white faux pearl centre. The metal work has a smooth and rope effect to the front and a brushed effect on the reverse of each piece. The Brooch, which fastens with a secure roll-over type clasp is approximately 6 cms in diameter and is in mint condition. This vintage Sarah Coventry Brooch bears the full signature and has all the style you would expect from the mid to late 1960's when it was made. Sarah Coventry was a Canadian designer and she introduced jewellery to the UK in 'Party Plan' sales a bit like the classic Tupperware approach. You can just imagine how exciting it would have been back in the 1960's to get dressed up and go along to see all the lovely costume jewellery and choose a treasure to buy and wear. As far as I can establish the Sarah Coventry Company continued to run the Party Plan jewellery sales until the 1970's.
An Idea.........A beautiful old brooch or dress clip can be used to add a finishing touch to your bridal outfit. A vintage brooch or a lovely art deco dress clip can be added to a dress, hat, hair band, handbag or be used in other ways. Why not place a sparkling diamante brooch or a creamy pearl pin on a ribbon to decorate your wedding cake? If you have many tiers you could choose a different one for each layer and then gift them to your bridesmaids, mum, mother in law or special guests. Your florist can usually add a brooch to your bouquet and your hairdresser will often incorporate your vintage brooch or dress clip into your hair or your bridesmaids' hairdo.
