Vintage Southwestern Sterling Leaf Brooch, each leave is inlaid with bezel set turquoise that I believe is a created or imitation turquoise – it is not glass but more likely resin or a heavy plastic. It is a sterling branch, tested. It is signed with a 3 inside what looks like a floral frame – perhaps tulip design. It is signed on the tip of the backside of the stem. It is 2″ long and about 3/4″ wide. Very nice basic simplistic yet appealing design. Weight is 4.23grams. Very good condition other than the patina/tarnish that could be cleaned if desired. This came from a PA estate. See photos. Lot. Loc. W.9.23-10.2117G1.6 – LD 11/30/17).
We carry mostly vintage jewelry across all themes in my stores and listings. We have our own store and are and have been known as stampshopgirl in Ebay and have been since I think 2003. At one point we had a gift shop/rubber stamping store and switched over to vintage jewelry about six years ago on a full time basis, which also including taking and completing gemology classes as well as jewelry appraisal studies. We carry limited other vintage items and am trying to change our presence to marias vintage and estate treasures. You may see both names until the migration is complete.
Thank you for stopping by, mariasvintage.
