    I've done some reading up on these brooches, and the marking of them was somewhat inconsistent at times. This particular brooch has no indication of being silver, but gave a very strong silver result ( red) from five tests. The stones, however, are faux (warm to the touch). I know Miracle did make silver items, but those are supposed to be marked "Miracle R".

    Hmmmm...

    UPDATE 9/2/2016 - see Comments....

    Thanks for coming by!

      Reminds me of Mizpah or Ward Bros pieces. Their designs are now part of Miracle jewellery. I wouldn't be pewter would it???

      Judy - I don't know, because I watched it tested for silver...4 times. I have to go back to my friend and have it tested one more time.

      UPDATE > I went back to the pawn shop today and guess what - it is not silver. The silver layer was so thick that it registered as silver. I kept the brooch, as I think it's beautiful, and got a refund for the cost of the "not-silver"!

      val - yes, this costume brooch is made in a typical Scottish design. I'd love to see yours.

      Well Bonnie, isn't that amazing!!! Glad you kept it....I love these Scottish type pieces!
