A little about Sherman Jewelry as sited by Collector's Weekly

"Sherman, whose slogan was “made to last a lifetime,” demanded the highest level of quality in workmanship and material. Using Swarovski crystals, special ordered to his exacting specifications, Sherman often copied examples of fine jewelry. He was willing to pay for the best materials, so his pieces always featured Swarovski’s top-of-the-line stones, often with shimmering aurora borealis coating, which he then put in sturdy japanned, rhodium-, and gold-plated prong settings.

Naturally, this meant his costume jewelry was some of the most expensive on the market—even in the early days, his pieces could go for as much as $50. His less elaborate and more affordable items sold at Canadian department stores and through the major jewelry shop Birks. The finest pieces of Sherman jewelry, however, sold at exclusive jewelry boutiques across the country.

Sherman had established himself as Canada’s foremost costume jeweler, and his work was starting to appear on runways in Paris and New York."
