Presented is a beautiful American Victorian pin or brooch. This piece dates to
around the 1860s-1870s. The brooch is made from 10 karat gold. The brooch is
quite ornate, with a bright cut texture decorating the majority of its surface.
The pin has a central flower design, with the leaves made in black stone,
probably onyx, and the blossom made of tiny seed pearls.
This piece is in great overall condition. The brooch has a slight bend to it,
which is barely noticeable. The circle on the front has been reattached with
lead solder, but this is hard to notice. The clasp has been repaired in the
past. The pearls and gold bead decorations are all intact.
This piece has been nitric acid tested and is guaranteed 10k.
The brooch measures about 1 1/2 inches by 1 5/8 inches.
This piece weighs 7.2 grams.
