Classic botanical stylization – three leaves and a central pearl. “Charles Reis Co” operated in the USA, New York. Founded in 1919, it was active until the middle of the 20th century. It specialized in high-quality “gold-filled” (12K, 14K GF) jewelry, as well as monograms, badges, pearl jewelry and commemorative brooches.
*Gold filled (GF) jewelry is many times more durable than standard gold plated jewelry.GF is a patented and very durable type of metal in the USA. GF jewelry is made by layering 2 or 3 metals, one of which is gold, at very high temperatures. Gold filled gilding is performed by layering gold around the base metal, forming several layers of pure gold, carefully and several times enveloping the entire product. In this way, gold plated jewelry does not change from contact with the skin, does not cause allergies, and is not afraid of water.
