Victorian Wide Bar Pin with Fancy Designs - Reflective Mirror Accents - Buttercup Set Garnets - Brass & Rolled Gold Filled Plated Finish

Fancy antique Victorian gold and garnet bar pin brooch:

~ Wide bar pin shape

~ Elaborate designs on the front

~ Reflective mirror like appliques frame the stones

~ Three garnet stones in buttercup settings

~ I do believe the stones to be genuine garnets as they vary ever so slightly in color and faceting

~ Metal composition appears to be a brass base with a very thick shiny rolled gold shell or plating

Ready and waiting for your lapel, collection, or gift giving - You will love this!

MARKINGS: None that I could find

WEIGHT: 12.0 grams on my scale

HARDWARE: Gold toned antique c clasp - east west set

MEASUREMENTS: Aprox 2 3/8" long x 5/8" wide - stones measure about 4 mm each in diameter

CONDITION: Great vintage condition - No damage to mention. I inspected the stones with 10x magnification with 10x power and didn't find any chips or cracks to report. Of the three settings - one is pushed down or sets lower than the others. The peg on the hinge end of the pin back may or may not be original to the brooch - but functions well either way. Clasp is in good working order

View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature will normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will try my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part of the description.
