A garnet and enamel brooch, an emerald-cut garnet in a yellow rubbed over setting, to a fancy scroll frame decorated with white and blue enamel and applied foliate decoration, suspending a conforming drop pendant from box link chains, measures 5cm by 5.8cm and a purple paste and seed pearl clover brooch

Estimated at £100 - £150


 

The enamel brooch has heavy losses to the enamel and some losses to the applied decoration. It fastens with a later pin and safety catch, with lead solder. It is not hallmarked or stamped but in our opinion would test as gold. The paste set brooch is in good condition. It fastens with a later pin and safety catch. Gross weight 12.6 grams.
