Vintage Original by Robert Enameled Apple & Worm Brooch
September 2, 2008 by Michelle Gartner
Original By Robert is a mark that was used The Fashioncraft Jewelry Company, which was founded by Robert Levy, David Jaffe, And Irving Landsman. When some of the principals left in the early 1960’s the company name was changed to Robert Originals Inc.
Below is a typical piece from the 1960’s which features an enameled apple and worm brooch. Other Original By Robert pieces are mistaken for Haskell and typically his pieces were high-end even at the time of manufacturing. {Information obtained from The Vintage Jewelry Guide}
Isn’t this brooch juicy enough to eat… at least the worm thinks so?
The worm is actually cute. Is it 3-D or painted flat? It looks 3-D - which makes it really neat.
Hi Teeni- It’s 3- D and super cute!
Eeeeeewwww, worms. It’s cool though because it seems to be really small.
Thanks for pointing out the lack of social buttons on my site - I got that all fixed now.
