Incredible Stunning Spritzer & Fuhrmann 18k Enameled 1930s Pin Pendant. Incredible detailing to this beautiful pin or pendant! Look at the raised bezel set diamond floral motif! That's right; diamond flowers! This piece is 3 layers deep. The exquisite green and white enameling absolutely bounces off the expensive 18k gold for a shine that we rarely see in a vintage piece. It's pristine!

This beauty Weighs a HUGE 25.6 grams. The bezel flips up and down to make this incredible piece either a pin or pendant! This highly collectible piece measures 2" x 1-1/4" and is 1/2" thick including pin.

's the story behind the creator of this magnificant piece: Charles Fuhrmann came to Curaçao as a young man in 1929 to escape persecution and seek his fortune. Almost immediately he met and began working with Wolf Spritzer, a Jewish watchmaker from Hungary who had arrived on the island two years earlier. Spritzer's small workshop was no more than a tiny room in the offices of a successful local ship chandler, with separate spaces for watch repair and jewelry making. As business grew in the 1930s they opened a second shop on Curaçao; the island's first modern jewelry store, it had an expanded selection of merchandise showcased in elegant displays. Soon they also added an optical department. World War II boosted their business; US and European servicemen stationed on both islands were an eager and captive clients, as were the crews of the many vessels that called. It was after the war that Spritzer & Fuhrmann became an international symbol for quality shopping on Curaçao. The store found a ready clientele in the thousands of US cruise ship passengers that began visiting the island in the 1950s and 60s; a full 90% of the store's sales occurred during the cruise high season, December through April. A boutique was even opened in midtown Manhattan, New York, just off Fifth Avenue, w items purchased at any of the Caribbean affiliates were repaired free of charge.
