14k Gold Judith Green signed Brooch Apple with Cabochon stones

Hi there!!

I found this beautiful brooch today at a thrift store in the bottom of the pile of old clip on earrings. I picked it up instantly thinking that it was unique. I have come to find out since then that the Brooch is made by Judith Green who is also known as Judith Lee, Judith Lebrie, Judith Jack, and Judith Ripka that is widely known today. So far this was all that I could find , but then low and behold We found a 14k gold mark and found out that its actually real gold. I havent had enough time to get it to a jewelry store to get information from them but I am so curious and I have looked every where trying to find this brooch. If anyone recognizes this or knowns anything about the value please let me know as I am dying to find out what the story is on this and what the value might be?? I can be reached at anagleswfla@gmail.com if anyone can help me get some more info on this!!!! Thanks!
