Schreiner NY Signed Smoke Blue Inverted Crystal Maltese Cross Brooch BOOK PIECE

Minimal fine surface scratches or other signs of wear. All original crystals are intact and in mostly excellent condition. Features a wide array of stones, including inverted crystals, frosted doublets and marquise stones, and the signature princess cut square stones seen in finer Schreiner pieces. Back of brooch is signed SCHREINER NEW YORK on an oval cartouche. Absolutely breathtaking in size, volume, sparkle, and shape.

This design is featured in "Schreiner--Master of 20th Century Costume Jewelry" by Carole Tanenbaum and Eve Townsend, at page 166.
