This Brooch belonged to my Grandmother. It is signed on the back “Averil.” I have searched every site about jewelry on Google and looked in the few books I have on jewelry and sent questions to people with large sites selling vintage jewelry. Nobody has ever heard of this company or any jewelry marked Averil.
There are a couple of pieces on eBay and I emailed those sellers and they told me they couldn’t find anything about it. If you put Averil in Google it brings up a lot of things but nothing to do with jewelry. Thought I would take a chance and ask here. It resembles a Celtic Cross.![URL removed]

Could you show a picture of the back of the piece including the signature. I found this on-line but have no idea if it has any relevance
Averil Mary Burleigh [phone number removed]
Painter and jewellery designer; lived in Hove, Sussex and studied at Brighton School of Art. Her husband was the painter C. H. H. Burleigh, her daughter the artist Veronica Burleigh. She exhibited widely – at the RA, RSA, NEAC, RI, SWA, Sussex Women’s Art Club and RCamA – and was elected an associate of the RWS shortly before she died. She was also a Member of the Society of Mural Decorators and Painters in Tempera. Her most characteristic works are brightly painted in tempera, with a strong sense of design. Her subject matter was usually based on classical or medieval subjects, and pretty maidens (often modelled on her daughter Veronica) set in Renaissance landscapes. Her watercolours (and pure landscapes in oil) were handled more loosely but still underpinned by a strong linearity. Brighton Art Gallery held a memorial show in the year of her death.

If the hallmark Averil is same as below then this would be (prior the thimble collection) part of the Mathis series.

The (solo) Averil collectibles are no longer around ever since Mathis Averil controls representation. Your lovely item is fashion vintage, anywhere from $20 – $50 to the vint admirer seeking this type of religious collectible. No further details available. Good luck.

I thank you both so very much for the help. I have really gone out of my mind looking for this mark. Here is a quick and bad pic of the signature.

There is someone who is talking about one of the famous Pakistani brand named Bonanza. For you now go for cheap essay removed] The person doesn’t know anything about it so that is why he is asking whether it is a real brand or a fake one. Maybe he is thinking about purchasing something from here.
