AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful oval brooch with a twisted edge and below it an openworked Celtic braid trim with in the center an oval-cut smokey quartz in a chaton setting.
On the back marked with the maker's mark “MG” and the Edinburgh assay marks for sterling silver.
Ortak Silvercraft, the company of Malcolm Gray, was one of the most iconic and leading jewelry manufacturers in the United Kingdom.
Length is 3.7 cm.
Weight is 10.95 grams.
After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I wish these special objects a place with a new admirer who understands the value of historic preservation. It is time these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so that they are preserved for the distant future.
I provide meticulous packaging and insured shipping.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every object in line with our submission guidelines. While we strive to provide a detailed description and photographs of each jewellery object, discrepancies or inaccuracies may occur. It is your responsibility to review all of the information provided about an object, including the condition and description, before placing an order. Sellers are responsible for the information, pictures and description provided, including the quality, quantity and nature of the jewelry supplied. A small imperfection that cannot be seen in the photo but is included in the description is not a non-conformity. A Lab Report is not a guarantee, valuation or appraisal regarding the articles described therein. A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
