Vintage Tortolani Gold Tone & Faux Pearl Hollywood Brooch

Early Piece, Signed, Rare Floral Spray With Pearls Motif, NICE

**Amazing, Newly Listed Estate Items for Your Brand New Year, 2017!**

Category: Vintage, Collectible Costume Jewelry; Designer-signed, vintage pins and brooches; 

Current Trends and Popular Pieces - All Vintage TORTOLANI Pieces; 

Classic styles, mid-century America; Hollywood

Composition: Gold-plated, brushed gold over nickel

Age: C. 1960

Measurements: About 1.5 to 1.75 Inches tall (N to S) at its tallest point;

 2.75 Inches wide or long (E to W); Pin is outwardly convex with a depth of about .5 Inches

Weight: 21.3 Grams - Weighty and durable

Signed?: YES - Copyright symbol followed by a scripted \"Tortolani\" on the reverse of the piece - 

in a feather-shaped bubble; We know this is one of the earliest marks Francisco Tortolani used

Condition: Very good, vintage, estate condition; Minimal light scratches/dings on this brooch as appropriate for its age. There is a medium patina on the piece as well which provides exceptional detailing to the brushed gold finish. There are also some glue

stains around the faux pearl. All pearls are original to the piece and in their correct positions. The clasp (rollover) functions

and the brooch closes well. The back of the brooch is significantly darker than the front due to

F. Tortolani\'s unique method of finishing his pieces. This is an attribute rather than a detriment.

We are offering this amazing lot for purchase in  the hope it finds a home that will appreciate its beauty and special features. Easily collection-worthy, just as nice to wear, as most of my items are.

Other: Francisco Tortolani founded Masterscraft in Rhode Island before founding Tortolani in LA, California after WWII. His metal finishes are distinct (and were also top secret when his gems were being made) and many found their way into the wardrobes of the rich and infamous per lore.

Tortolani pieces are becoming more and more coveted as increasing numbers of collector\'s are discovering

his unique style. Worn by starletts in the mid-century (perhaps because of the factory\'s location in California), each is an excellent example of the best in costume jewelry the United States had to offer during its \"Golden Age\" of jewelry. Tortolani pieces are ALL collectible, but the gold-toned ones are more valuable as less were made than the silver-toned ones. Beautiful and perfect, just for you!


Always packaged with care and gift boxed for your pleasure.

Happy & Confident offerding From Southwest By Suncoast!

Please Take a Moment to Read Our Customer Policies Below Before offerding:

Payment Policy

  • We accept PayPal only
  • Please pay within 72 hrs of sale close. 
  • If you need more than three business days to pay (up to 2 weeks), please let us know in advance so we do not accidentally relist your item. Also, kindly contact us with any questions about our items prior to offerding.
  • No items will be shipped until payment is made in full.

We apologize in advance to our wonderful and perfect buyers for the following harsh language - it is not meant for YOU, but for the cyber criminals lurking online that attempt to steal money and goods from honest buyers and sellers alike instead of living honestly. The only way these pathetic lowlifes can be stopped is by repeatedly reporting them to , PayPal and the U.S. FBI. Therefore: 

All attempts to scam our shop out of merchandise or money will be reported to all three aforementioned agencies - including IP address, satellite location and user handle(s).

We encourage you, our customer, to follow the same protocol, but, at minimum, please, please NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO AN EMAIL or even PHONE CALL. If you suspect one of \"your\" companies is attempting to get a hold of you, you can always call that company back on its PUBLIC, PUBLISHED number. While this alert has no bearing on the preceding listing, we at Southwest By Suncoast want all of our customers to stay safe while shopping online.

Shipping Policy

  • We ship to addresses within the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii.
  • Many listings are also able to be purchased by residents of Canada, Australia, and several European and South American nations, etc. We use \'s Global Shipping Program to ship to our international buyers, but we do not profit monetarily from it, nor do we have any knowledge of their charges or policies, so you may want to find out beforehand how much shipping to your country will cost you prior to offerding.
  •  We will ship your item no more than 2 business days after you pay for it. 
  • We are always happy to combine shipping.
  •  All domestic items are shipped via USPS First Class Package to save you money. 
  • We rely on USPS\'s tracking services to ensure your item\'s safe and timely delivery.

Reading

Just as it is our responsibility to provide you with accurate and detailed descriptions of our items for sale and take many pictures for you to examine, it is your responsibility to read the whole listing and view all of those photographs. The majority of our listings are pictured with an American quarter in the line-up so as to give our buyers a \"real world\" sense of item size. If you are an international customer and used to the metric system, let us know if you need the measurements in millimeters instead of Inches. We are happy to provide this information to you.

We want our customers to have all the information about an item before offerding and we are always up front about any issues we see. Of course, we are not perfect, but we do do our absolute best with every single item. :)

Customer Satisfaction

  • We take your happiness as seriously as you do. If for any reason, you are dissatisfied with your purchase, we will refund yourpurchase price.
  • You, the buyer are responsible for all SHIPPING COSTS (to and from)
  • We do need to know the reason for your return to see if you are eligible for a waived restocking fee.
  • We do not tolerate post-sale bargaining, nor do we grant \"partial returns.\" You may choose to keep your item OR return it for a full refund - not both.
  • We take great pains to provide you with accurate and detailed information on the items we sale. 
  • We personally test all metals and will clearly and repeatedly state if an object is or is not sterling silver, gold, costume, etc. 
  • We also personally test our diamonds when we list them as such. 
  • If we do not know something about an item, we will let you know we are taking our best guess and/or state that we do not know.

  • Want an item, but the cost is too high for you? Add the item to your watch list and, well, watch! Generally items will come down in price the longer they are \"on the shelf.\" You may just end up with an incredible bargain on your hands as well as your coveted treasure! Do be aware, though, that others may pounce on an item with a lowered price, as well - we can\'t guarantee you will win. We run TRUE sales!
  • We encourage you to return to shop with us and often offer discounts and other fun and valuable bonuses to repeat customers. 

If you have any questions about any of our items or policies, please feel free to contact us via email at any time and we will respond as soon as possible. For more general questions, such as testing metals at home or collecting certain kinds of jewelry, please allow us up to a week to answer (as these questions may take a bit more time to thoroughly reply to).

*All items come from a smoke-free Environment

**Our guard dog is not allowed near our inventory (your items!)

Happy New Year, 2017 From Our Family to Yours,

Sincerely, Jessica G. Eckhoff, BA, SW*SC, Port Charlotte, FL
