Vintage Dorothy Bauer basket of flowers with Dorothy Bauer Collector's record card enclosed. Stamped DOROTHY BAUER. "Dorothy Bauer, a jewelry designer and classically trained sculptor of Berkeley, California created the company: A Piece of the Rainbow in 1982, selling hand-blown glass jewelry. That same year, she changed the company’s name to Dorothy Bauer Designs, creating jewelry using Swarovski Austrian crystals and rhinestones. Each piece of jewelry has been beautifully constructed and soldered by hand at the Berkeley site." The latest news is that Dorothy Bauer is no longer making jewelry so her pieces will become more valued with the passage of time. This unique basket of flowers reflects her love of color and has been constructed and soldered by hand. Prong set Austrian crystals are used to create the sparkling flowers as well as the clear crystals that form the basket. The back is finished in a fine silver plating that looks like a dark pewter. This is a very beautiful brooch measuring 1 1/2" from top to bottom and, 2" across. It comes in mint condition with the "dorothy bauer" copyright tag as well as the stamp, "dorothy bauer" on the back. Free shipping within the USA. Arrives gift wrapped.
