    My wife usually gets carried away with shopping but this time she did very well.
    She picked up this great piece of vintage jewelry, a Sterling Silver, marcasite and Lapis Lazuli brooch.
    Great patina,all Marcasites are present and the Lapis has good color and contacting matrix.
    Large size 3.5 x 3 inches,I would guess 30s-40s.
    Please enjoy.

      Really pretty! I see what looks like another stamp on it. Look at the last photo in the direction of the clasp. It appears that there is a stamp on the brooch just below where the pin goes across the brooch to the clasp. See it?

      Hello Efesgirl, the only mark I can make out is 925 sterling silver mark.
      My eyes are not what they use to be, there could be something else there.

      Exquisite piece!!! I can see something too....

      After much eye stain and 30 power loupe I can find no other noticeable identification.

      Beautiful Lapis stone - really splendid. Two of my favourite things together.

      Hmmmm - I see it when I enlarge the photo....looks like initials. I wonder what it is, then.
