Description |
Oval brooch with a repeated pattern of iridescent stones, set in twos in scallop-shaped areas. The pinstem is silvertone and has a ball-catch. It is rather unusual, as it extends from a central post (because of the depth of the oval). No maker's identification observed. The oval is cast with openwork. |
