These pretties were favorites of mine. Laurel Burch went on to launch her business, now called Laurel Burch Artworks, on February 24, 1960. She began making paintings commissioned by restaurants, businesses, & private collectors. "I found metal in a junkyard & hammered it out on the back of an old frying pan." She began making jewelry & selling it on the streets of San Francisco from tackle boxes. Some local stores began stocking her creations, & a businessman, Shashi Singapuri, took samples of her work to China. She went to China in 1971 & discovered cloisonné, a kind of enamel work, with which she designed paintings & had the designs made into earrings. There is a huge lot of nifty Laurel Burch costume jewelry pieces from my personal collection being listed this week. Please stay tuned. Surrender Dorothy.
