Mid-Century Krementz 14k Yellow Gold Overlay Cultured Pearl Leaf Brooch

Krementz & Co. used 14k yellow gold overlay to create high-quality, durable, and affordable jewelry, primarily for men's dress sets and accessories like collar buttons and cuff links. This technique involved sandwiching a base metal between two sheets of 14k gold, resulting in a thicker, more durable gold layer than standard gold plating. This classic 1950s design is timeless, featuring two natural cultured pearls!
