Went to an auction in Genoa City today. Very windy and snowy for an outdoor auction. Purchased 5 big bags of costume jewerly for $35. Once I got a look in the bags I found a few pieces of gold and silver. One of the items found was this Victorian C-clasp brooch. Made of 18k gold ( you can probably see the mark in the photos). Weighing almost 5 grams. I don't know what kind of flower it is but it's very detailed. Definitely a great find!
It's an orchid.
You did very well~!! I see the mark on one of the petals. I would be interested to see what other great goodies were in those bags. Would you please post them?
Thanks Davy and Efes! The other items I found were mainly 14k stud earrings and a 10k gold ring band with a missing stone. I'll get to posting those after I get back from a flea market today. I think this brooch is definitely the gem of the bags.
It could also be a trillium:)
Great find!
