Herbert Rosenthal was a mid-century jewelry designer known for his charming and elaborate bee motifs. The Herbert Rosenthal Jewelry Corporation was founded in New York City in 1945. Rosenthal’s bees became the must-have accessory of the 1960s and 70s. A slew of imitations followed. Despite these imitations, Rosenthal's bees remained the very best. His craftsmanship was so unparalleled that executives at Tiffany & Co. took notice, eventually hiring Rosenthal to be their exclusive designer for bee and insect pins.
Ring size: 8 3/4 US. Gross weight: 15.6 g.
