This Krementz brooch/pin with its classic midcentury "Krementz Rose" design in gold overlay is as shiny today as the day it was originally purchased.  That's due to the Krementz Company's development of a high quality finish developed in the 1880s, known as Krementz Overlay.  In this process, a layer of nickel plating coated the base metal, then a sheet of 14 karat gold was applied under high heat and pressure.  This resulted in a finish that maintained its color and didn't acquire a brassy look over time.  Many variations of the Krementz Rose were made, this one being a stem rose with leaves with a fantastic brooch pin back, the pin measuring 2 1/4" long.  One long stem rose yellow and rose gold pin signed 14k gold overlay. The brooch itself measures 2 3/4" long and 1" wide and is signed Krementz on the pin shaft.  Condition is astounding, as can be expected with jewelry of this caliber. This was one of my mother's brooches.
