Vintage ART MODE Arthur Pepper Jeweled Apple Brooch *SIGNED* Aurora Borealis

Vintage ART MODE Arthur Pepper Jeweled Apple Brooch *SIGNED* Aurora Borealis. Selling this 1 apple shaped brooch This is encrusted with 2 different colors of cut glass rhinestones with an aura borealis treatment The rhinestones are sort of a red & pink color But they reflect other colors like peach & raspberry. All rhinestones are round in shape & are in different sizes. This does have wear on the green enamel painted leaves. Mostly the one leave has some enamel loss. See pictures with arrows pointing out the flaw. Pin has good gold-tone color Pin approx 1” wide and 1 1/4” tall. ART. Mode-Art, a jewelry company founded in New York City in the late 1940s, was owned by Arthur Pepper. This "ART" mark was used after 1955 as indicated by the copyright symbol This has the Art mark. So I’d date this 1955 or later. This is an older item so it may have wear due to age, use & storage. I don’t see any missing stones Please zoom into pictures to confirm this & review condition for yourself. Fruit Apple Big Apple Big Apple, New York Apple Tree Retro Aurora Borealis AB
