The listing, Beautiful Antique Filigree and Czech Glass Brooch has ended.
Signed Made in Czechoslovakia on reverse this lovely brooch holds a center 3 Carat glass stone the color of a true Blue Topaz. It is followed by oval and round prong set stones and deep channel sets one can only faintly see.
All stones are fabulous.
The Gold Tone Filigree if you look closely is all entwined Tiny Hearts.
A sweetheart of a brooch if there ever was one!
The safety clasp is quite primitive and strong but has moved some to un do as I was working it, so maybe not overly reliable?. In the photo with a pencil point you will see some hard dark material on the reverse, I tried to flick it out with a straight pin and it is very hard-whatever it may be. I did not want to mess with it. I don't see it from the front however.
The Brooch Measures about 2" X 2" and is worn on the diagonal not as a square, though you could wear it either way. The filigree seems a little fragile in spots but I see no breaks to it. Some very tiny bits of plate wear is visible on very close inspection though doubtful you will ever notice.
It is absolutely a most lovely accessory and would make an especially nice gift to someone you love with its heart motif~
I play by the rules and expect the same from my fellow listians
I only visit the computer as I can - about once a day so please be patient with any ???
