Rhinestone and enamel rooster brooch made by Nettie Rosenstein. Had her signature on the back along with “sterling” I believe it has Rose Gold over the top of the Sterling as was a popular thing with designer jewelry in the 1930’s.

Nettie Rosenstein was Born in 1890 in Salzburg, Austria, Nettie Rosencrans became famous American fashion and jewellery designer. Her parents moved to Harlem, New York while she was a young child. There, Nettie married businessman Saul Rosenstein who ran a women’s underwear business (1913).

Soon, under the surname of her husband she and her sister began career in the fashion world. First, it was a hat business. In the early 1930s, Nettie founded a new company, and significantly expanded the family business. Her company manufactured clothes, linens, bags, perfumes and costume jewelry. As a result, the talented designer received the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award for her collection in 1938.

Will require a signature for delivery. Thank you
