Reinad Royal Crest Brooch Value & Appraisal - Is Yours Rare?

Question
I have a signed Reinad Royal Crest Brooch, goldtone, was told it was rare, but I cannot find the value of it; looked in books and online.  Can you help?

Answer
Hello Tee and thank you for your inquiry. Reinad was in business from 1922 to 1954.  There are a lot of costume jewelry books available but the problem is they will all offer different prices. Most Reinad jewelry sells for $25.00 up in good condition but some pieces will go much higher.  I have found no specific information on your design and can only advise you to keep looking, possibly on ebay.com for similar items and their current market value. I did find one crest brooch by Reinad that sold at auction for less than $25.00 some time ago and it was in fair condition.  Hope this helps and enjoy your brooch !  Reinad is a fascinating designer to collect !
