Fabulous SHERMAN Pearls and Aurora Borealis Pin Brooch - SignedMeasures 2"Sherman founded his Montreal manufacturing company, Sherman Costume Jewelry, in 1947. He started with one employee, Ukrainian jeweler Dmytro Kurica, who went by Jim or Jimmy and whose last name was pronounced Koretza, hence the confusion in some quarters about his name. Kurica was an expert craftsman who helped make Sherman's exquisite designs a reality. By the 1950s, Sherman had established himself as Canada's foremost costume jeweler, and his work was starting to appear on runways in Paris and New York.Sherman, whose slogan was "made to last a lifetime," demanded the highest level of quality in workmanship and material. Using Swarovski crystals, special ordered to his exacting specifications, Sherman often copied examples of fine jewelry. He was willing to pay for the best materials, so his pieces always featured Swarovski's top-of-the-line stones, often with shimmering aurora borealis coating, which he then put in sturdy japanned, rhodium-, and gold-plated prong settings.
