I’ve been collecting this maker’s pieces for several years and have never seen one remotely like it. Les Bernard all-sterling pieces are generally small and many have a vermeil finish and diamond-point texture. This one is large, bright and smooth, with big, clear rhinestones. Please view the photos to get a sense of how stunning this is, although they can’t do it justice! Piece is signed “Les Bernard Sterling” on cartouche. I was told when I purchased it that it was from the 1960s, but it looks like it might be from the '80s, when big was big. Some of this firm's pieces can be difficult to date, as it used throw-back styles in many pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLes Bernard was founded by Bernard Shapiro, whose father was with Vogue Jewelry, and Lester Joy. It was in business from 1963 until some time in the 90s. Under-appreciated by some, but its quality is widely recognized among   jewelry aficionados. The firm designed jewelry for the TV series “Dynasty.” Its styles ranged from Art Deco influenced to the oversized looks of the 80s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSIZE: 2 3\/8″ across x 15\/16″ top to bottom at widest point. Rhinestones are approx. 7 mm square. Substantial, weighing 20 grams.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION: Excellent, with some minimal, all-but-invisible surface scratches. Front is bright and tarnish free, back has small amount of tarnish. Pin back with rollover clasp is secure.
