| This pin may well have started its life as an earring. Note the construction with hinging that has been fixed with a very old mend. Sugar loaf turquoise and multi-color gold are worked into a charming bouquet. Superb graduated granulated edge detail. Length is 2 1/4 with the drops, width is 1 3/8", condition is excellent. Old repair has obscured the hallmarks but French gold standard is 18K and this looks and feels it. A makers hallmark of ET is visible. Stunning workmanship on a wonderful and unique lapel pin. Ooh-la-la, c'est formidable! | ||
