A sweet marcasite wreath brooch from the mid to late 20th century! Made of sterling silver with an anti-tarnish rhodium finish, the vintage brooch emulates a leaf and berry wreath accented with sparkling marcasite stones. The unusual oval shape is lovely, and the little leaves are accented with a milgrain edging, adding extra charm. All the marcasite stones are hand set indicative of authentic vintage marcasite jewellery. A pin and revolver clasp attaches to the back, as well there is a safety chain/pin attachment for added security whilst wearing (this can be removed if desired!). Stamped "STERLING" denoting sterling silver.
The brooch measures 3.00cm x 2.50cm.
