    Love brooches, even if it is not an animal, it is figural!

    Only bidder on this one! 25$ :-)
    A bargain!

    Described as silver, with gold pin and clasp.

    Upon arrival, I think it is all gold, will have to get it tested :-)

    Lacking 2 little sapphires, but as I don't have convenient stones, will remain as is,

    2" or 5cm high, 1" or 2.5 cm wide.

    I place it in the 1930' era.

      What a bargain, kyratango!! Love this beautiful brooch! What are the purple ones, are they sapphires, too? I don't see where the two stones are missing, one blue one, and another purple one, but hardly a blemish overall with this beauty. Winner! :)

      Thank you Caperkid for your beautiful comment :-D

      Kath, some sapphires must have fallen at one moment and old replacements doesn't match!
      Red/pink stones are rubies, fluorescent under UV!
      Thank you for your always appreciated visit and interest :-))

      That's beautiful! How do you know they are rubies and sapphires Kyra? Is there a test or do you see signals?
    7. kyratango kyratango, 9 years ago
      Bonnie, you're the bargain queen, I can't fight ;-)) Thank you my friend!

      Rose, manyyyy thaaaaanks for your wooooow!

      Karen, thank you! I have a big habit of stones, they always interested me from my youngest years, plus a good loupe shows impurities, color stripes and so on. There may be some synthetic sapphires in replacements though...

      I discovered recently that rubies (synthetic or naturals) glows with STRONG red fluorescence under UV light, where garnets show none!
