Bug pin marked Secret(t?) 14k

[Penguin]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any info on this maker? or information on the time period this was likely made to help my search?

Did you look into Giardini Secreti or Segreti? (Both spellings come up for the same current designer for some reason.)

Could be the line Giardini Segreti of Pasquale Bruni.See here:

And here:

The brooch lacks Italian marks, though, even 14 K is suspicious.
This is an example of full marks by Pasquale Bruni:

Thanks for the replies!

I found a jeweler based out of Toronto established in 1957 called "Secrett of Toronto". It appears to be a smaller jeweler but was originally relatively high end.

Would it be unreasonable thought that a smaller firm would make something like this?

As always, thanks for your thoughts.

“Secrett” of Toronto is much better candidate; lacking Italian marks and 14 k.
The last letter T in word Secrett looks like capital I because there was no room for it when the punch was applied.

I agree with Secrett. Victor Secrett in Toronto advertised designing and creating jewelry.

I think we have found our most likely maker.

Thanks as always for your help.
