Autumn

Please join me in welcoming the newest "items I plan to embed in my hair" this fall collection. The brooch, at least. It deserves to get out there, don't you think?

The Curtis Jewelry Mfg. Co.* launched in 1936. The Providence Rhode Island company made a name in the semi-precious market through dedication to detail, gilding, and use of semi-precious gems. 

Stormy grey stones. Blue undercurrent. Shifts with the light. Muted elegant surface. Gold-filled and marked. ** Beautiful vintage condition or little to no signs of wear. 

Welcomes a shift in the weather. Certainly, has stories to tell. Eager to evolve. With you. 

P.S. The V20 12K stamp means that 1/20^th of the weight of the set is 12k gold. Base metals, entirely comfortable making this bet, tend to be sterling.
