This is a lovely crafted Bernard Instone brooch. I love the way the leaves are formed and the agate, Lapis and MOF sit. The brooch is marked B.I which of course I'm very happy about, it solves a lot of problems. I have seen a similar brooch on Pinterest. I would hazard a guess that this piece was made either in the 1940s-50s.
Many thanks for looking
I'm not familiar with Instone, was he an american juweller? The brooch is very nice.

Thank you Elisbethan, for your comment. The link above tells you about Bernard Instone, I hope it helps.
Jean I saw a brooch similar on Etsy I think and didn't know if it was Instone or not - I don't have your knowledge :(
I really like this.
Lovely brooch Jean!!!
Thank you Judy, it is a beauty. :-)

Hi Karen, there was a similar one I think on Pinterest. The one I was looking at had a Amethyst in the brooch, but the frame it's self was more less identical. I'll have a look and see if I can find it. By the way thanks for your comment and love.
