Yessss, this is yet another of my hoarded treasures that I had intended to convert to a pendant or bracelet...you can sadly see how far a got with this idea; though I’ve kept her away hoping to make a decision. All in vain...she needs to be worn!! Celebrated!!
Little history on the piece: I purchased this handmade Victorian era brooch a few years ago from my aging neighbor (98 years young) who’s inherited trove was being downsized in order to help with accumulating expenses. She had inherited it through her mother from her grandmother, an artist in San Francisco. It’s comprised of stupendously glittering mixed cut antique diamonds ranging from F-J, VS to I1 clarity, though all are eye clean. All original and intact. Permission was granted to sell, as I explained to Ginny that I believed someone else would be able to be a better caregiver than I. Please do not dissemble!! You’d be wearing a not so little piece of history here.
