Based in Seattle, Washington, American jewelry company Layko, Ross & co Inc. began its activity more than hundred years ago, in 1918. According to sources and jewelry pieces available on the vintage jewelry market, the company ceased operations in the 1960s. Traditionally, the designers used high quality materials for creating beautiful lockets, earrings, tie clasps and brooches, which have perfectly survived to this day. Jewelry from this manufacturer is quite rare, sold at auctions. Basically, La Roco products were not marked, but sold with a tag. Occasionally found on clips, the “La Roco” hallmark in script is for some reason almost never used on brooches. Superbly made large elegant openwork leaf brooch with multi-colored cut glass inserts. The brooch has no markings, but thanks to the recognizable corporate style of braided patterns made of numerous herringbone metal threads, it is unambiguously attributed in vintage jewelry catalogs as an example of the small-circulation brand La Roco.Inventory#: 230501705-01ct
