HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE VICTORIAN ERA SILVERPLATED "RIBBON" BROOCH WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF MARCASITES, PLUS A VERY LARGE FAUX PEARL AT ITS CENTER.  IT HAS A BASE METAL OF BRASS, WITH A DARKER "STERLING" TYPE PATINA ON MOST OF THE SILVER PLATED AREAS.
THERE IS SOME WEAR TO THAT PLATING, ESPECIALLY ON THE CORNERS AND EDGES OF THE DESIGNS.  EVEN SO, THE BROOCH IS STILL OVERWHELMINGLY SILVER TONED (WELL, AT LEST SILVER WITH A BEAUTIFUL & VERY DARK PATINA).
PLEASE NOTE THAT QUITE A FEW OF THE MARCASITES ARE NOW MISSING, AS SHOWN IN QUITE A FEW OF THE PHOTOS.  THESE ARE PRETTY EASY TO REPLACE, IF YOU SHOULD DESIRE TO 'REPAIR' THE BROOCH.  ALL IN ALL, THE BROOCH IS STILL IN GOOD (to VERY GOOD) CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE TOTAL WEIGHT O
F THE LOT IS
7.25 GRAMS
.
PLEASE NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.
THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE
