Description
Lots of super extra work for a piece of gold filled jewelry. The stems are rose colored gold fill, garnets are faceted & mounted in notched rim collars, interior petals have a granulated surface w/diamond cut notched rims & interior stars. Petals maybe yellow brass but un-know if patterns are hand cut or original to casting. Stamens appear to be a white metal w/4 long sides gold colored & end tips being silver tone. Center has carved coral flower w/paste diamond. Between the large flowers is a small silver colored metal flower w/granulated surface & paste ruby.All metals excellent condition with no damage or repairs noted. All pin hardware, C clasp & watch hook original, in working order & are light yellow toned metal. On backside is a tiny, original ring for a security chain. Joint attaching watch hook is very bulky, appears to be a bad/missed clean up spot as it's color matches other joints & the small silver colored flower.
The pin has no marks found. It measures 1 15/16" wide x 1 1/2" tall x 1/2" deep from the front of the flowers to the pin stem. The large flowers measure an approx. 3/4" in diameter
We are seniors and as my husband has health problems I try to only do errands, like Ebay shipping, on Tues. and Fridays.
