Identifying Sarah Coventry Necklace & Brooch - Value & History


Question

Necklace  


Brooch  
Hello. I have two pieces of jewelry that I would like to know more about. I got them from my Grandmother's jewelry box after she passed away. The cross necklace has Sarah Cov on the clasp. Any help you can offer would be most appreciated.

Answer
Hello Allison,

Necklace is by the company Sarah Coventry and is from the late 1960s early 1970s. The cross on the necklace if it has no markings it is probably also Sarah Coventry. Collectible Sarah C's jewelry is, but does not command high value. The brooch is very lovely and is from the mid 1960s. No markings? Looks like prong set rhinestones. The pieces are lovely, not worth very much and will not sell for much to a collector. I have some pieces of my grandmothers jewelry that is not very valuable.

I keep themin a small box and admire it every so often. I can still smell the stinky perfume that she used to wear on the pieces. To me this is invaluable. Thank you for submitting photos and questions to me.
