Featured Need to ID Maker of Sterling, 22K Gold, Onyx Modernist Brooch

Trying to ID this 3 1/8" long artisan brooch. Marks are 925, 22K, 37 and maker's mark, maybe a clover, or BB/EB? Stones are onyx. Very unusual DOUBLE pin stems with safety roller clasps. Any thoughts?

 

I think the first letter is a script i "ib".

 

I think it's just a B. The pin back is made like a convertible fur clip, but it's newer. The maker's marks are of a type used after fur clips went out of use.

 

I don't think the mark is "IB" as the left-side character has two lobes, like a reverse B.

Yes, evelyb30, it is similar to a fur clip but definitely from late 20th century or after. The prongs have safety clasps so these would not work on a fur garment, the space between the back of the brooch and the pin prongs is too shallow.

 

very nice !!!

 

Love the design, and unusual pin construction. I'm sure it helps to keep the brooch perfectly in position.

I read EB.

 

Thanks, AJ, I think EB is correct. Now to try and figure out who EB is!

 

who cares......... it's delicious !!!!!!!!

 

meant..... in a nice way , of course !!!

 

Understood, Komokwa! But if anyone is looking for pieces by this artist and I don't have the name in my listing, they probably won't find it!

 

Collectors are tenacious, they'll find an item by using any searchword they can think of. And you have the EB mark.

 

Thanks, @i need help ! I'll give it a shot!
