Signed CFW vintage costume jewelry
The history of CFW began as a jewelry line by Hargo Creations, founded in 1955 in New York. The successful family business of Joseph Heibronner and Edith Levitt ceased to exist after Joseph’s death in August of 1968. The item shown is a vintage brooch or pendant in the shape of a five-pointed star, featuring blue enamel inlay and gold-tone detailing. Key details include:  * Design: A star-shaped frame with a textured gold-tone edge, filled with blue enamel segments. 
 * Center: A stylized gold-tone starburst or floral design at the center. 
 * Material: Likely made of base metal with gold plating and enamel. 
 * Possible Maker: Could be signed "CFW," indicating the maker. 
 * Era: Possibly Victorian or mid-century modern. 
 * Use: Can be worn as a brooch or a pendant. 
 * Condition: The enamel may have minor wear. 
 Noteworthy, some sources mistakenly associate the abbreviation CFW with the name of the English couturier Charles Frederick Worth (October 13, 1825 – March 10, 1895). However, Charles was an Englishman who worked in England and France, and the second reason – the date of his life and death. That is, he could not have had anything to do with American costume jewelry in the 1950s and 1960s.
Although there is no record of either the CFW company’s registration or the CFW trademark, yet, it was a line of jewelry by the American company Hargo, known as HAR. There are at least three reasons. First, the identical designs of many enameled figural pins marked CFW and HAR. Secondly, the time of making jewelry marked CFW and HAR is 1950-60s. Thirdly, the same style and font of marking – capital block letters with a copyright sign.
