The arms of the starfish brooch are fully articulated; the brooch expands and retracts in a way that mimics the movement of a real starfish. Two of the fish's five rays are flipped at the ends, exposing the yellow gold on its underside. Designed in 1935, this brooch was purchased by the American actress Claudette Colbert (1903-1996) in 1938.Jewelry / Adornmenthttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/679086/rdf
