Great pin with no issues, tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver, any marks detected, weight, and measurements will be shown in the pictures.   Circa last quarter of the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCourtney Peterson’s journey began in the vibrant French Quarter of New Orleans in the 1960s, where she crafted and sold jewelry inspired by the natural world. In 1970, she was among the first artists to showcase her work at the inaugural New Orleans Jazz \u0026amp; Heritage Festival in Congo Square—a true testament to her deep roots in the region’s rich culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the 1980s, Courtney had dedicated herself full-time to jewelry making, presenting her creations at prestigious events like the Philadelphia Flower Show and the Devon Horse Show. As her business grew, she and her partner, Lee Peterson, found inspiration in the Pennsylvania countryside. They transformed a historic farm’s barn into a bustling studio, where up to 18 artisans brought nature-inspired designs to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLee, a naturalist and author of the Peterson Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants, brought a unique perspective to their craft. His expertise introduced natural gemstones into Courtney’s collections, elevating their fine art and abstract pieces with elegant authenticity. Influenced by Lee’s father, Roger Tory Peterson—famed for his field guides—their work honors the precision and beauty of the natural world. Together, Courtney and Lee, both master gardeners, built lasting connections in the artisan community, celebrated for the inventive hand-shaping and intricate patterns that make each piece uniquely alive. \u003cbr\u003eListed with ExportYourStore.com","brand":"Estate Fresh Austin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52831025135832,"sku":"bca1ysds46ssdss","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/6284\/7960\/files\/il_fullxfull.8780070063_ej8y.jpg?v=1793200459","url":"https:\/\/estatefreshaustin.com\/ko\/products\/large-courtney-peterson-sterling-silver-brass-turquoise-fish-pin-brooch","provider":"Estate Fresh Austin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
