HERE IS A PRETTY ANTIQUE VICTORIAN ERA ROSE GOLD FILLED (or ROLLED GOLD PLATED (WHICH IS THE SAME THING, BASICALLY)) PUFFY (HOLLOW) BROOCH.  IT MEASURES APPROX.  1 3/8" WIDE x 13/16" TALL.  IT SHOWS MINOR WEAR TO THE GOLD FILL, REVEALING JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE BRASS BASE METAL.
PLEASE NOTE:
IT HAS A
MAJOR SEPARATION
ON ONE END, WHERE THE TOP PART HAS COME OFF OF THE BACK PLATE (SEE LAST FEW PHOTOS).  HOWEVER, THAT PLATE DOES FIT FIRMLY BACK INTO PLACE, IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE IT SOLDERED TOGETHER.
THE PIN (THE POINTY THING ON BACK) HAS BEEN BENT TO WHERE IT DOES CURRENTLY WORK WITH THE PIN, IN ITS PRESENT CONFIGURATION.  IF FIXED, THAT PIN WILL HAVE TO BE BENT BACK, ALSO.
TO CONFIRM... I BELIEVE THE PIN CAN BE WORN AS-IS, BUT IT DOES NEED TO BE FIXED.
ALL IN ALL, THE BROOCH IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, EXCEPT FOR THIS MAJOR FLAW.
THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 3.05 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
.25 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS
, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A
RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
