Hi, I have this Harlequin Jester pin that is am not finding to ID him. He is only marked sterling and the stones look jelly bellies to me. He is 2 3/4 inches longThanks for any help or direction, Lainey

I have seen this Harlequin Jester Troubadour before, unfortunately I have never seen it actually identified as to the maker. It is done in the style of Boucher, but it also could be Coro or Trifari or any number of other great designers. I believe it is from the late 30s early 40s due to it being a vewrmeil piece, sterling with a gold wash. Also I believe the stones are glass, therefore, they are not Jelly Bellies, which were Lucite, but jewel tone cabochons. It's a great piece.

Though the beauty may be in the butterfly, the struggle and growth occur in the cocoon.

Ive had that piece. The patent belongs to Urie Mandel, dated 1947

isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit

Cleio, do you have the patent number? I would love to add the patent with the picture to my private research folder. TIA
