1950s Mid Century Gold Lupin Flower Brooch With Pearl And Ruby unusual silver bracelet one of the strands onDescription: A beautiful quality unusual brooch with a definite designer feel. We've not been able to attribute it to anyone and it is unmarked save for a small incised "1714" which is either a stock or design number. The pearls all look so neat and tidy that you'd assume they were faux pearls but they are actually pearls (assumed cultured) and the little rubies look very juicy and good enough to eat! Age: c1950s mid century Size and weight: 8. 8g.
