Coro Sterling Jelly Belly Fish Fur Clips
These are Coro duette fur clips. They are marked sterling and have gold wash. Neither one has Coro actually marked on them, but
they are in “Costume Jewelry 202” by J. Carroll on page 54. It says they are the 1944 Adolph Katz design patent issued November 14.
The mouths have a blue faceted marquis cut rhinestone and a red cabochon eye. The Lucite cabochons “Belly’s” have imbedded rhinestones.
They each measure 1 3/8” by 2”. I do have the Duette pin mechanism for these fur clips, but I haven't updated the pictures yet!
This is a great set for any collection.

Coro Sterling Vermeil Jelly Belly Frog Pin
This Frog measures 1 1/8” by 2”. It is signed CORO Sterling. Now comes the weird part! He is shaped just like the Coro Duette Frog
Fur clip Pin done in 1944. Only that pin has rhinestones, not marcasites, and they were fur clips not pins. You can see that Duette on
page 169 of “American Costume Jewelry” by Brunialti. If you look closely, I think the fur clip was altered to a pin. Someone must have
loved this frog dearly to have changed it. It’s in wonderful condition, even the Vermeil is not worn! The Lucite belly has a few bubbles
in it. You’ll probably never see one like this again.

Norma Sterling Vermeil Duck with Umbrella Jelly Belly Pin
Here is a rare pin! It measures 1 ¾” by 1” and is marked NORMA Sterling. There is another mark, but it’s unreadable. He is gold
washed , Vermeil, but some is worn off, or is very light. He has a green rhinestone eye and an oval Lucite stone for the belly. He can
be seen in “A Tribute to America Costume Jewelry” by Brunialti, on page 143. This circa dates this pin to 1944-45, but there is nothing
actually known about this designer or company. He’s in good condition and cute as a Duck!

Norma Sterling Vermeil Jelly Belly Rabbit Pin
Here is another Norma and her most Treasured one! It is the rabbit with the top hat. . He measures 2 3/8” tall by 1 ½” wide. He
has a red rhinestone eye, a clear rhinestone in his cane, and is marked Norma Sterling. He is circa dated 1944-45, along with other
Norma Pieces. There is nothing actually known about this designer or company. He has wear to his vermeil, so he looks just slightly
gold, more silver, but is really in good shape.

Tiny Norma Sterling Jelly Belly Duck Pin
This little fellow is so cute! He is marked Sterling, but I can’t find the Norma mark. Yet, I know it’s Norma, because I’ve had his daddy
before! He has a gold wash over the sterling call vermeil. He stands only1” by 1” in size. But he’s in wonderful condition. The duck jelly
belly is from the early 40’s.

Brass Gold Tone Jelly Belly Bug Pin
This pin has a Lucite clear belly that is reverse carved, so technically it’s a “Jelly Belly”. Generally a “Jelly Belly” is gold coated
silver (Vermeil) pins done in the 40’s, but I’m going to put this pin in that category. It is long and has wings like a cicada bug. It
measures 3 ½” long by 1 1/8”. One of the wings has the coating semi-worn off. You can see it in the pictures! It seems to be made by the
same company that the bird is from. Sorry, I don’t know what company made them! But It sure is a another “fun” pin.

Coro Mallard Duck Jelly Belly Pin
This pin is marked Coro, but not Sterling. It is the same pattern as the 1944 design by Aldoph Katz, but I think it’s later;
this could be a reproduction from the 90’s. It has the Lucite belly and the rhinestones and it’s done very well,
but not being Sterling it’s not part of the original jelly belly’s. It measures 2” by 1 ¾”. It is in excellent condition.

Chick in a Egg Shell Lucite Jelly Belly Pin
This pin is a puzzle! It is older, but not sterling. It once had a gold finish, but most has worn off. Traces of it can be seen.
The frame is screwed in to the Lucite body and the Lucite is crazed and scratched, a bit! The red rhinestone eye was embedded and
a tiny crack is seen next to it! Not the workmanship of a 40’s Coro or Trifari, but a unique Jelly belly! Who knows when it was made
exactly, but it was worn and loved! It measures 1 ¾” tall and 1 ¼” wide. He needs to be adopted!

Lucite Jelly Belly Metal Fish Pin
This is a very different pin. Most jelly belly’s (Lucite cabochon) were done in the early forties and the metal was sterling.
This looks like brass or a gold washed metal. It measures 3 3/8” by 2 ¾” and I have no idea o the age. This fish has a black
rhinestone eye. It is in good condition.
