This Egyptian vintage silver brooch depicts a falcon with spread wings, set with nine turquoise stones and a ruby eye, and can also be worn as a pendant; its silver fineness is unreadable and it has no laboratory report.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Egyptian silver brooch with a striking bird with spread wings. The finely detailed feathers give the design a lot of depth. Nine turquoise stones form two colorful accents along the wings; in the eye sits a ruby. The shape recalls the falcon from ancient Egypt.
On the back there is a brooch pin with a C-clasp and a hanging eye. The piece can therefore also be worn as a pendant. On the pin there are three Egyptian hallmarks, including the lotus flower for silver. This hallmark was used from 1946. The place and fineness stamp is partly worn away and the date letter is not clear enough to name an exact year.
The brooch is in good used condition. Some turquoise stones have small pieces broken off. The silver has a patina and the back shows signs of wear. Please also view the detail photos.

Seller's Story
I am Melanie, a graduate goldsmith with a specialization in vintage and antique jewelry.
My love for jewelry has been with me since childhood: weekends I spent at markets and fairs, fascinated by the craftsmanship and the stories behind each piece.
After completing my training as a goldsmith, I combined my technical knowledge with my passion for heritage in my company Feniks.
There I focus on jewelry with character — carefully selected pieces in gold and silver, that exude quality, craftsmanship and originality.
Each piece of jewelry is checked for authenticity and stands for sustainable beauty: timeless, not trend-bound, and with respect for the craft.
