An all-American girl. Ehrlich & Sinnock of Newark, New Jersey, were in business from 1900 - 1931 and were renowned for their craftsmanship. They are most recognized for their use of the famed Montana sapphires in jewelry. Although this piece has no sapphires to be found, it does have a splendid purple stone we know and love- amethyst. Well known as the February birthstone, Amethyst can help with clear thinking, concentration, memory, learning, creativity, and is even said to stimulate intuition. Crafted in 14k gold (the American standard) this Edwardian-era brooch is ready for her new home.
