Florence Peruzzi jewelry has not had a published relationship to the more collectible and harder to find jewelry created by the former Gino M. Peruzzi Jewel Shop of Boylston Street in Boston MA. All that is known is that Gino came here from Italy and enjoyed a healthy rivalry with G. Cini who was said to have moved his store 2 doors from the other. This info given by a client, of www.mimideeartwear.com, who currently resides in WA but was from Boston...

Collector said, 'Thank you Mimi for finding me another 'baby'...'
Both Parenti and Peruzzi have used this Baby Motif and the bow is so Parenti, however because it is marked 800 yet unsigned, it is most likely Peruzzi from Italy (leaving Boston Peruzzi, Cini and Parenti out, who worked in the American stardard of Sterling) with a nice heavy Gold wash. 3 piece Screw back Dangle Earrings are 2.25" long and .75" wide and very, very nice condition at good weight of .4 oz or 14 Grams on postal scale.
