The brooch is hallmarked on the front of one of the leaves but I haven't been able to identify the mark. The pin stem is exceptionally long.

The Mask of Agamemnon was discovered at Mycenae in 1876 by Heinrich Schliemann. It was found over the face of a body believed to be the legendary Greek leader Agamemnon. Modern research suggests that the mask is from 1550-1500 B.C.E, which is earlier than the traditional life of Agamemnon, but in spite of this, the name remains. The mask is displayed in ...
$145 USD Offers ConsideredVictorian Garnet Fan Shape 9K Gold Pendant Brooch w/ GF Chain

It has been matched to a 20" old gold filled rope chain of later vintage marked 1/20th 14K GF N/C.

$75 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Arts & Crafts Sterling Silver Luna Moth Butterfly Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Brooch
This is a fine vintage Arts & Crafts marked 925 sterling silver brooch that I believe depicts a slightly stylized brown luna moth rather than a butterfly. The eye like designs on the wings bear a strong resemblance to the moth. It is a good sized brooch, but is hollow so not overly heavy, and it appears to be hand made. The front is decorated in low relief with upper wings defined separately from the lower wings. The eye like decorations are raised above the surface slightly. The surrounding ...

$113 USD Offers ConsideredSALE c.1900 Silver Plated & Turquoise Glass Belt Buckle & Belt Pieces Set

$135 USD Offers ConsideredSALE c.1900 Gold Filled & Faceted Stones Festoon Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
This wonderful 16.25" festoon necklace features the most amazing faceted stones filled with interesting inclusions. There are 6 stones hanging in swags from the gold filled chain. I am not sure what these stones are, or whether they are natural or man made, but they are beautiful. My first inclination is that they might be some kind of quartz, but the edges of the faceting are a bit too smooth for a natural stone, so I wonder if they might be glass. Yet among all the inclusions I do not detect ...

$203 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage Iranian 840 Silver Carved Scarab Necklace & Bracelet Set
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This is an unusual carved scarab necklace and bracelet set in Iranian 840 silver hallmarked settings. Silver content was confirmed by testing. The hallmark is a 20th century mark, probably from the early part of the century. Both necklace and bracelet are marked on the connecting links between the scarabs. I can't detect ivory grain pattern so I judge that the scarabs may be carved from bone. The scarabs are inlaid with bands of silver defining their backs. The clasps on both bracelet and ...

This hefty Mexican sterling silver brooch features an ethnic Indian carved green stone face in the center surrounded by a wide decoratively cut out silver frame.
