Hattie Carnegie Silver Double Flower Clear Crystal Brooch Pin

This is a beautiful brooch designed as two crystal head flowers nestled in pave encrusted receptacles. The large crystal heads of the flowers are highly reflective when hit by light. They radiate beautiful rainbow hues. It is widely believed Hattie Carnegie produced jewelry to complement her clothing, particularly her trademark “little Carnegie suits,” her official line of marked jewelry did not hit the market until 1939. Like Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, Carnegie flourished in the “cocktail jewelry” movement (1935-1960), where pieces like brooches and demi-parures of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings put the finishing touches on outfits. Hattie Carnegie passed away in 1956 but leaves behind a timeless legacy.
