Antique brooch Harry Iskin blue crystal goldfilled bow ribbon flower pin gold

Rare find from our personal jewelry collection - splendid brooch from the 40s. The design is fine example of Harry Iskin heritage and typical for the 40s era: a composition with a flower spray, bows and pendants, gilding and aquamarine inserts. Harry Iskin was born in London in a family of Jewish immigrants. In the beginning of the last century, he went to USA and started a new life in Pennsylvania. During the First World War, he served in the army. After the war, he worked as an engraver, and in the early 1930s he already opened his own jewelry production in Philadelphia. The highest moment in Iskin's career came during the years of the Second World War, when jewelry from Europe was practically not supplied. Harry Iskin jewelry was produced in small quantities, distinguished by exquisite design and had well-deserved success. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the 1950s, the company ceased to exist, but beautiful works that survived their creator remained. Signed: “HI 1/20 12 KGF” This marking stands for: “Harry ISKIN”, the product contains 1/20 part of 12 carat gold, gold filled. This is how goldfield jewelry was marked during World War II and in the post-war years. The brooch is in great vintage condition. However it can have some small signs of time, which corresponds to the real age of the brooch - more than 70 years. Please see all of the photos and video as they are the part of the description.
