I hit one of my local thrifts today apparently right after someone had made a big jewelry donation. Everything was $5, and I went a little batty. The HAR brooch was the first thing I picked up, and my heart skipped a beat. I’m not great at this, so please tell me if anything speaks or screams out at you. Thanks.

The Grosse brooch ( Dior) will do very nicely. Great haul!!

Abby, I knew that Grosse produced for Dior, but was unsure is it was definitely Dior as its only marked Grosse. Thoughts? And thanks.

No, I already hip checked another lady out of the way today, so I’m banned for a while. Kidding. And my adrenaline is still pumping!

What a wonderful buy! Congrats to you!

100% Dior. Henkel and Grosse were the first designers for Christian Dior. There are many avid collectors of Grosse, especially predating the 60s

Right place, right time, lucky you! 💃🏼
Some people collect the Pearl Trifari brooches ( hi Marie ) so definitely check those designs out. It’s always a GReAT day when you find Boucher. Your flower looks like a particularly nice 3D one.
So happy for you! 😊

None of it's my personal style, but it would take a really hard case to turn down Boucher!

What a great shopping trip! The Grosse was the one that jumped out. I’ve only had one piece but it did very well. I had to go look up Binder Bros, I’ve never even heard of them, lol
