Camrose & Kross jewellery
Incorporated in New Jersey on 5 May 1998, Camrose & Kross LLC owns two jewelry trademarks – CAMROSE & KROSS and JBK (Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy). The private company has been creating watches, silverware, and costume jewellery for more than two decades. Using art glass, rhinestones, metal alloys of silver and gold tone Camrose jewelers made replicas that don’t differ from the originals, neither in weight nor in appearance. For example, if the original patina or scratch is present, then the copy has exactly the same patina or scratch. The only difference is the material used in manufacture. Noteworthy, Camrose & Kross has been the world’s only company that has the right to make copies of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s jewelry.
This brooch was a gift from John F. Kennedy to his wife after the birth of their son in 1960. The couple already had a daughter, Caroline, by that time. This brooch has a certain meaning: two fruits-berries represent two children of the family. One berry (left) with larger stones is Caroline, and the second one is a newborn baby. Jacqueline loved the brooch and often wore it.
They say that the American state has three female faces: the Statue of Liberty, Betsy Ross, who, according to legend, sewed the first American flag, and Jacqueline Kennedy. The most famous first lady, she could make fall in love with not only the major American playboy, but all country, which he headed.
