BJL Signed Vintage Marcasite Leaf Brooch, 1950s, Bohemian Jewellers Ltd. Made in Birmingham England.
Charming 1950's vintage BJL marcasite brooch in the shape of a leaf. This has lots of sparkle and would look stylish set against a dark tone sweater or dress.
Features bead set marcasite stones (rather than glued, ensuring the quality of the settings) and is stamped BJL, the Bohemian Jewellers Ltd. (Birmingham) mark.
Closes with a rollover catch.
Maker Marks: BJL logo plus there are several scratched markings on the reverse which look like W/AI and P27, I'm not sure what these refer to but have read that sometimes jewellers put reference codes on jewellery in this manner so who can say?
Measures: 5 x 3.5 cm
Condition: Very good with minor age wear and jeweller marks as mentioned above.
History snippet: Founded in 1946, Birmingham England, Bohemian Jewellers Ltd produced jewellery under the registered trademark 'Bomarc'. After a merger with Ellisons and Co Ltd in the 1960s, in 1971 the company changed its name to Bohemian Ellison & Co Ltd followed by another name change in 1985 to Bohemian Ltd before finally wrapping up in 2008.
All vintage items have been pre-used, unless stated otherwise, and may have gentle signs of wear.
