Bought a sterling silver ginkgo barrette hallmarked Tiffany & Co. also found a newspaper ad for Tiffany & Co. dated 1977 for hair jewelry and it pictures the ginkgo barrette and states it is by Angela Cummings. I used to have Angela Cummings dragonfly wing barrette.
I also used to have a collection of Angela Cummings jewelry. She designed for Tiffany & Co. before she went out on her own and had a boutique at Bergdorf Goodman. :-)
