    Tyeldom, I think you are correct about the name. When I looked for examples of Parenti online, all of the sterling I found looks "better made" than this piece. Perhaps this is an older piece than the examples I was looking at?

    Yes it does, Komo, that's why I think it's older than what I saw online.

    Its a great looking pin. Looks a bit DECO or maybe early 50's. LOVE IT.

    From the internet:

    "2 Parenti sisters came to the USA from Florence, Italy about 1932, as Europeon-trained silversmiths.
    Had a shop at 400 Boylston Street, Boston, MA
    Made hand-wrought silver pieces--many of them set with real stones.
    Info from a Vogue article from 1941, & a 1947 ad."
