This brooch has a lovely design, like a swirling pattern. I purchased it at a shop in England, where it was described as a Victorian brooch. The stones are set in a detailed and very delicate manner. It sparkles beautifully. It's not too large, so I think it would be easy to incorporate into everyday wear. There are no noticeable scratches, but as it is an old item, there are some minor scuffs. The pin is slightly bent. It has a 925 stamp.
