1.7/8" wide, 1.3/8 long!
That's the biggest insect pin I have, and cheapest than some more little ;-))
Only marked 900, gilded silver, C clasp.
Can be seen as bought on my collective critters post here:

The moonstones had brown grime under that made them beeing described as agate!!!
I recognize it was moonstone and knew jeweller wouldn't use deffective stones for such quality piece...
Bingo! The grime went off with some windex and here it is, beautiful and glorious.
Yepeeee!
To see it before cleaning:

Wow, it great what a bit of Cleaning can achieve. It's very pretty and those Moonstones are beautiful.
Thank you Jean! I really prefer uncleaned and errors in descriptions :-)
When you have a poor pic it is even better for the bargain ;-))
What a difference, those stones are gorgeous!! Eye-popping brooch!
Yep, I get you on the poor pics, I always look at them just incase. I have been lucky on a couple of occasions with a bargain.
I was anxious to get it... Took 2 weeks to arrive from U.S!
Thank you Kath! I was lucky on this one.
What a super bug! LOL! I would have snapped it up, too...

Thank you Shareurpassion and Vegas for your bzz bzz love ;-))
Hi Kyra, I thought you might be interested in this 301769375830.
This is from the same maker... What is very bad is that they are described as Murrle Bennett! As one was referenced as such by Tadema Gallery (!) others are too...
I would really want to know where is the original source of all of these, they surely make other models of this era pieces!
That's why for authentify patina is important to keep, because the stones used are apparently old stock ;-)
Thank you Jean for the link!
Probably made in India.
Or Thailand... Anyway, they use old quality stones!

Collective and grateful thanks to the last lovers :-)
BZZZZZ!
Thank you Carolinabluelady :-)
I just saw this is an old post but it's still very pretty...geeze I never thought I'd say that about a bug or insect. I think I've come to appreciate them because of your posts and magic of fixing them!
Very well done Kyra - a splendid cleaning job, which has made the stones and design so beautiful.
Awww! Thank you so much for supporting my passion, Share ;-)
Gillian! Thanks a lot! This one was so dirty... it only took 2 sprays of a kind of windex to remove all and reveal the moonstones glow :-)
Ooh, thank you Ken for your love and kind comment on the big BZZ BZZ!
Many thanks for all your loves, Mani and 36 lovers :-D
So beautiful!!!
