Found this beauty on the internet. Covered in gem stones - around the rim are amethysts and aquamarines, topaz and garnet in the middle with a huge white star sapphire in the center of the brooch. Dates to early 1900's I think. No other marks except the handmade sterling tag. I am thinking it is earlier than the 1930 Deco period as stated in its listing. Arts and Crafts/Nouveau detailing, flowing silver work and flowers would set it a little earlier.
Wow, that is gorgeous, all those stones! :)
I know what you mean. I was just gasping when I saw it in person.
It is big too - about 2 inches across.
Wow. I adore this. So well made too.
Great find WPJ!
Etsy? Listed as 1930s. Quite a piece!
