This distinctive brooch is by designer Gene Verrecchia, who formed his own company Gem-Craft in 1945 after working at Coro as lead designer for more than 30 years. This brooch embodies all the attributes that define Verrecchia's work – quality, craftsmanship and originality. There are very few of these jelly belly style brooches available, as most have ended up in private collections.
