This excerpt is from an article at"Vintage Jewelry Collect On-line" about WENDY GELL Jewelry: (Her jewelry has a very distinctive style. It is bold, whimsical, and glitzy. As a jewelry designer, Wendy leaves no surface unadorned; each piece is a complete encrustation of jewels and other materials. The covering of all surfaces is analogous to creating a painting with jewels and she successfully achieves through her medium. The materials she uses help form not only textual depth, but visual delight. As a contemporary designer, Wendy not only uses present-day material such as rhinestones, pearls, beads etc., she incorporates old findings into the work. It is not unlikely to find Indian carvings, netsuke’s and Eisenberg pins from the 30’s and 40’s as a center focal point in the designs. Her designs are greatly sought after in the collector’s market and her clients include Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Isabella Rossilini, and Cher . Wendy Gell jewelry can also be found in the private collections of: Elizabeth Taylor, Elton John—designed sunglasses for him, Hillary Clinton, the late Andy Warhol and Princess Diana.)

This whimsical signed WENDY GELL brooch is a wonderful collectors piece in fabulous condition with only slight wear on her lips! She measures 2.5" x 1.5". Wonderful!
