    Hi
    Everyone.
    I found this nice Vintage Sterling Silver Gold Vermeil Ruby & Clear Flying Insect Bug Pin Brooch, online a week ago.This purchase was an hazard(i hope) i bought from the same seller a Kralik Vase(post later), when i browsing the seller page to see if he got something else i could be interested, i see this brooch, lovely. i can't resist.The underside of the wing is marked 925. This is a 925 sterling silver flying insect fly bug pin with gold vermeil over the sterling silver. It has red and clear prong set stones, I am not positive what they are, crystal, glass or ? When I first looked at the pin I thought it was 14k gold because the red prong set stones looked like genuine rubies and the quality of workmanship was of high quality, i will have a friend jeweller take a look on it.

    This brooch stand 7/8 of inch by 7/8 of inch.

    Thanks for viewing.
    Alan
