BH111

This beautiful brooch is from. Delphi Antiques in Dublin.
It was made in France C1880 and is set in a fine eighteen carats gold and silver setting.
The stones in the brooch which are all original to it, are not real sapphires and diamonds: it may have been the final piece of a very skilled apprentice.
I normally only purchase items with real gem stones in them but I loved this piece so much and the quality of craftmanship in its making that I just had to have it.
