Description: rhodium and gold plated base metal, faux aquamarine and alexandrite crystals
Marked: unsigned
Reference: The identification is confirmed by the rhodium and metallic enamel version of the pin BOU2408. Design, construction, and non-use of Sterling date this to 1941-42. Compare BOU1950 and references there. An advert in the Los Angeles Times, 13 Mar 1942 p 20, listed many items in Boucher's current collection, including 'Bird Pins in Pairs', price $22 plus tax, which probably refers to these pins; click thumbnail above to view advertisement.
