This is when a stone speak for itself. Look at those natural formations in the malachite. Just stunning. Beautifully surrounded by sculptured sterling silver lily and leaf design. This brooch is made so the pin is totally concealed therefore can also be mounted onto a chain so it can be worn as a necklace as well.
Hallmarked 925, Maker tr sadly the other part of the hallmark is to work to be able to date it but from how it is made and constricted this is unquestionably an old piece.
