This is a beautiful circa 1900 brooch in fine condition. I often wear these antique brooches over a chain - as pendants - or this could be easily converted to one with the original simple c-clasp still intact. The stones are just beautiful. The outer ones are moonstones and the green stone is chalcedony. Clear and no inclusions. The piece is large, at 1 7/8 inches in length and 1 1/2 inches in width. The metal is a gold colored period metal maybe Pinchbeck. Ready to wear.
