A striking and highly collectible mid-century set from Sara Coventry’s 1961 release, “Golden Bouquet.” This signed and patent-pending design features sculptural, brushstroke-textured gold-tone panels worked into a bold articulated bracelet, paired with matching leaf-inspired clip-on earrings. The finish is rich, dimensional, and unmistakably 1960s — a painterly, hand-wrought effect that sets this design apart from standard gold plating.
The bracelet curves fluidly across the wrist with its wide, hinged links, while the earrings echo the same organic form and texture, creating a unified and dramatic presentation when worn together. A rare complete set in exceptional condition — no metal loss, no dulling, no plate wear — preserved beautifully for over six decades.
Signed, documented, and highly wearable, this is a standout piece for collectors of named mid-century jewelry, vintage fashion enthusiasts, and those who love sculptural goldwork with presence.

Collector's Note
“Golden Bouquet” represents a shift in Sara Coventry’s early 1960s design direction toward bolder, textural metalwork and sculptural forms. Sets bearing both the signature and the “Pat. Pending” stamp are especially desirable, as they document the original production run before later re-issues.
This is one of the most sought-after gold panel designs from the brand’s catalog — often worn today as a couture-style statement bracelet instead of costume jewelry.
