ART

Started around 1950 by Arthur Pepper, ART runs a wide gamut of styling and often resembles Florenza. It is unknown by this writer whether Mr. Pepper and the Kasoff family were related in any business manner.

Description: ART Necklace, Bracelet and Brooch Demi - Fabulous 1950's demi has cream enamel, lime, rose and light blue faux moonstones, and lots of pastel colored aurora borealis rhinestones. Necklace is adjustable to 16", bracelet is standard 7" and brooch is about 2" in diameter. Enameling is in excellent shape on necklace and bracelet, brooch is very good but not quite as good as the other two pieces. I have replaced a few missing faux moonstones and repaired the clasp on the brooch, but amazingly ALL the original rhinestones were there. Finding demis is becoming increasingly difficult, snap this one up!
