Vintage Gold over Sterling Silver 17.35 TCW Multi Gemstone Marcasite Brooch Pin

Description

Stunning vintage brooch pin made of sterling silver with a vermeil finish on the top of the brooch.  What is vermeil? It's a thick coating of 18 ct gold sometimes put over sterling silver.  It's thicker than gold plating. The brooch has 4 amethyst stones. The top amethyst is oval & is approx. 1.75 carats (6.64mm x 8.13mm) & is prong set.  The 2 round amethyst stones are bezel set & are equal to approx. 1.20 carats (measuring 5.65 mm each). The bottom amethyst, prong set, measures approx. 10.09mm x 7.97 & is equivalent to approx. 2.40 carats. The larger faceted oval stones are smokey topaz & they each measure approx. 11.57mm x 10.26mm, or approx. 6 carats each. There is marcasite throughout this wonderful piece.
There are a few very small marks on the vermeil or where the vermeil may have rubbed off.  They are hardly noticeable except with my jewelers loop & certainly nothing that takes away from the beauty of this vintage piece.
The brooch measures 3-3/4" long x 2" wide.
