The brooch opposite is clearly by Sybil Dunlop for the choice of colours, elongated cabachons and stylised leaves at the top and its symmetrical design which is very much a characteristic feature of Sybil's work. The range of jewellery below are all pieces by Dorrie Nossiter the basket of flowers brooch and earring set with bows underneath being the only one correctly identified, although the date given of 1930 is probably incorrect as bows were more common in Dorrie's later work dating to post-war work in late 1940s and early 1950s. The circle of vine leaves, pearls and facetted stones is incorrectly identified following on from other misidentifications of this same piece. |
