This is a stunning brooch, dating to around 1870. It has 7 cabuchon set coral stones in a very elaborate silver setting. I believe the setting is sterling but it is not marked. The brooch has a very ornate pierced backing, an old C clasp and trombone hinge. The pin measures over 1.25" across. There is a pin prick sized dot on the surface of one of the stones but I think that is part of the natural coral. It appears to be in very fine condition overall.
