The Toledo - Georgian Diamond 14k Gold Brooch
$679.00
A very beautiful old broch featuring diamonds in 14k yellow gold. The brooch consists of three round corner squares each holding an individual symbol: a question mark, a cross and a crescent moon with a sun each covered with rose cut diamonds. The symbol portion holding the diamonds are silver. On top of each symbol there is a small loop, not sure what the use of the loop is, perhaps it allowed the wearer to also use the brooch as a necklace or an embellishment of some sort without use of the pin. Europe, estimated circa early to mid 1800s
