An another thrift store find from tuesday.
The brooch look to be handmade, and the design is new to me. Also it was repaired later, someone glued a tiny blue bead instead of the original stone (first row in the middle), not the best repair imho as it looks cheap. Not sure about the stones, maybe glass. The metal is not magnetic. Brass?
I am slightly confused, what is this - asian jewelry?
I would like to hear your opinion on this brooch.

Thank you Nuts! I agree! I want to repair it. How would you remove the glue?
Looks like something from India or perhaps Pakistan. The stones are not Turquoise - dyed Howlite. The metal is brass. :-))))

Hi lentilka, I have a similar brooch to your brooch. The link above is the nearest I got to solving my mystery. Good luck, I'll be watching your post hopefully someone might know.
