Vintage Sarah Coventry “Black Beauty” Brooch and Ring Set This is a vintage brooch and ring from the Sarah Coventry line. The polished starburst pattern is raised over a scalloped edge disc that is textured, creating a #D effect. There are prong set cabochons of polished black acrylic making them look like glass. This is a fabulous design from the 1960’s era of Sarah Coventry and stamped “SARAH COV” on the backs. I also have a single matching earring that I will send. I couldn’t find the mate. These vintage pieces are in excellent condition. The brooch is approx.. 2” in circumference, the ring is adjustable and the face measures approx.. ½” in circumference. The single clip earring is approx.. 1” in circumference. Sarah Coventry jewelry was once sold on the home party plan and is now a very collectible vintage jewelry designer. Emmons, no longer in business, was founded by Charles Stuart in Newark, NY. He also founded its sister company, Sarah Coventry. There is a thorough and interesting discussion of this jewelry maker in Lillian Baker’s “Fifty Years of Collectible Fashion Jewelry, 1925 – 1975”. According to her, the Emmons Co. was incorporated in Feb. 1949 and then Sarah Coventry came into being 8 mos later. It was only sold at home parties, mostly in the 1950’s and is now collectible and getting scarce. All the items I list read more
