AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage brooch/pendant
Handcrafted workmanship
Old brooch/pendant with a light structure, made of silver, worked with raised decorative motifs and embellished with lozenge-cut turquoise stones. Signed on the back by the goldsmith.
Silver not hallmarked, but tested with acid and a testing stone: the red traces indicate silver (see the latest photographs, thank you).
Vintage patina
In good condition, signs of wear and age.
Notable silver tarnish spots spread across the rear surface of the brooch and silver heavily darkened by time.
Any imperfections are part of use, age, artisanal craftsmanship, and the very nature of the turquoise stones.
The brooch is equipped with an eyelet so it can also be worn as a pendant.
Note that the inner diameter of the eyelet is small, therefore suitable for passing a very thin chain or a small-diameter cord.
Brooch length approx. 4 cm
Weight 9.1 g
N.B.: due to monitor settings, the real color of the turquoise stones may appear different from the photos.
We do not ship outside the European Union.
Careful packaging and tracked shipping
Delivery delays may occur.
