Note: More than fifty years ago, our great-aunt commissioned a custom platinum and diamond brooch during her winter visit to Sarasota. As the daughter of a telephone industry pioneer and a friend of Alexander Graham Bell, she embodied grace and intelligence. The brooch symbolized the strength and love that shaped her life. After the family sold the business, it became a cherished heirloom passed down through generations.
