    One of my favorite thrift stores finds. A veritable wall brooch in peking glass and gold tone metal. It's 3x4 cm and weighs about 24 grams, which is heavy and puts fabric choice before color coordination when working it into an outfit. It might be handmade what with the make-it-fit size differences of the cabochons, but I could be mistaken.

    It's marked "Made in West Germany", but curiously it also has another mark: a solitary "P". I don't know how representative my experience is, but this is the only West Germany-marked jewelry I've ever seen that has another mark. I suppose it's a maker's mark, but no clue to whom it could belong.

    There's a brooch for sale on eBay that I think is from the same source, but it lacks the "P"-mark: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-made-in-WEST-GERMANY-Green-art-glass-brooch-pin-pearls-gold-tone-/161773592689
