The brooch measures 1.4 inches by 1.1 inches wide and weighs 4.74 grams, offering a distinctive and eye-catching presence when worn.
It is presented in great antique condition, with stones secure and details well preserved.
Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.
Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming 18K gold construction. A unique and highly collectible example of antique figural jewelry.
