Sarah Coventry  |  1949 - 1950

Gorgeous, shimmering snowflake pin with aqua rhinestones that are as stylish now as they were in 1949! 1" in diameter. Unsigned, but listed in 1949 documentation. Thanks to Sandy and Shirley for helping to identify this design.

Unsigned, but I have this pin in my collection on the original card in the original plastic jewel box, and it is listed in 1950 documentation. It is also listed in 1949 documentation with a different item number, however, all of the item numbers I am aware of from 1949 were changed in 1950.

This delightful scatter pin is one of the very first designs offered by Sarah Coventry. The gorgeous moonglow lucite centerpiece rises 1/4" above the pin and is topped by a sparkling clear rhinestone. About 1 1/8" in diameter. Unsigned, but listed in 1949 documentation and shown in later Inspiration Pages.

Lovely Wedgewood Cameo is one of the very first designs offered by Sarah Coventry. The large pin is 1 3/4" in diameter, the smaller pins are 1 1/16", and the earrings are 7/8" in diameter. Unsigned, but listed in 1949 documentation, which suggests wearing the large pin and the scatter pin as a set connected by a chain. It also states that the pins are ideal as mother-daughter jewelry: Mom wears the larger pin, and daughter wears the scatter pin. Of course, this extends to grandmoms, granddaughters, multiple siblings, and more! Or try two scatter pins together. I'm sure you'll come up with more ways of wearing the delightful Wedgewood Cameo set.

Arctic Pearl is one of the very first designs offered by Sarah Coventry. Each beautifully framed white plastic cabochon is 1" long. One of numerous anomalies in Sarah Coventry jewelry, Arctic Pearl is not pearlescent. 15" long. Unsigned, but shown in 1950 documentation. The white and gold version of the later black and silver Mystery design. Minor surface wear.

Beautiful Victorian Revival necklace featuring a complex pendant that looks simply gorgeous. It begins with an oblong open metalwork element with beading, scrollwork, a central rhinestone flower and a rhinestone perimeter. This element is set on top of a solid frame with scrollwork edges. This pendant makes fantastic use of negative space, in that the placement of the oblong element on top of a solid base gives the appearance that the base is black. It is not. It is the result of a wonderful design. The pendant's rhinestone flower is duplicated on the bail above the pendant and on the push-in box clasp. Gold filled. The pendant is 1 1/4" long, and the necklace is 16" long. Unsigned, but shown in 1950 documentation. Much of the chain and part of the pendant's back are not as bright as they once were. Still a rare beauty and lovely to wear.

Turquoise in Crystal is stunningly beautiful with its Victorian Revival design, turquoise sets, crystal clear rhinestones and fabulous white enamel tracery on the golden beds of each segment. This is one of the very first designs offered by Sarah Coventry. The necklace is 14 1/2" long. Unsigned, but listed in 1949 documentation.

Note that the green stones are of a special cut which cannot be matched except by cannibalizing another Capricorn Jewels piece. Except for this bracelet and the original unsold pieces I bought several years ago with the 1949 and 1950 documentation (at a dear price!), all pieces I've seen have had poor replacements for the green stones.
