Buckley Moss vintage costume jewelry
The history of Buckley Moss trademark began in 1978, when American artist Patricia Buckley Moss (b. 1933) founded her company Buckley Moss, Inc. Patricia’s paintings and jewelry are inspired by country landscapes, people, animals and children. The artist’s special passion is geese, embodied in her paintings and jewelry designs.
A philanthropist and charitable person, Patricia began to produce limited quantities of brooches for her foundation, P. Buckley Moss Society For the Love of Children. Faced with learning challenges in school, she dedicates her life to helping children with learning disabilities. Every year she created one or two designs of brooches, pendants and lapel pins, each of which has a serial number.
Traditionally, the jewelers use porcelain, hand-painting her unique subjects, as well as gold, silver and enamels.
