$45 USDVictorian Brooch with Amythest Glass Stone
Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Victorian Brooch
So typical of the Victorian "Bar Pins", this one is done in brass metal with the favorite purple faux amythest stone. I don't know exactly how old it is, but it has a "c" clasp. The table of the faux amythest has no scratches, and the metal work on either side of it is quite lovely. The brooch is 3" long and 1/2" wide. I believe the metal to be brass - many alloys were used in the Victorian era, but this looks like brass - I do not clean the metal unless asked to do so.
