This

LARRY VRBA CAMEL
brooch has a center piece that came from the Rosenstein collection, and Larry Vrba set
it
under a rhinestone palm tree. #K11668


JAY STRONGWATER
winged dragon brooch with a wonderful combination of
colorful rhinestones. The large center stone is a rainbow of rose,
purple, peach and blue, and the wings are rose and green rhinestones.
The body has light pink, medium pink and caramel rhinestones, and all
are in an antiqued gold tone setting. It is signed on the back "Jay
Strongwater", is 3" by 2" and was made in about 1998, which is when I
bought it brand new. Strongwater pieces always have his
distinctive look, and this wonderful fantasy animal is my all-time
favorite!
