    This brooch came to me in sad shape as most of the outer row of marquise stones had become black and they foil back gone. the construction and setting have high end quality, So I carefully removed the outer row of clear stones, and desperate to return the piece to wearable (with out purchasing more stones), I used what I had on hand, the AB color stones you see in the pictures. I don't think I did too bad.

      It looks absolutely lovely. It breaks my heart a little when a beautiful piece is retired because it's missing a handful of stones. You've brought it back to life <3 Wonderful job, really professional and full of sparkle and energy!
