I could not find anything on this designer, but I can tell you that his/her work is wonderful.  This maple leaf brooch measures just under 2 1/2" x 2" and has a hook on the back so it can also be worn as a pendant.  It is done in the most beautiful Fall colors; red, green, blue, gold and orange.  There are tiny flea bites to the back of the brooch but the front is in excellent condition.  Signed "a. gagnon, quebec".
