I’m absolutely obsessed with the fire it possesses but I’m not very knowledgeable on this era. I wondered if you could help me decipher whether this really is Georgian, a Victorian era (G. revival) piece or a modern fake. The few details I have are that piece is in silver with a gilt backing. All the diamonds are rose cut, with entirely closed backs. It’s 6.7g total weight and 1.5” long. A lot of work seems to have been done to the back of the brooch. The back looks to me like it might have been en tremblant at some time, but somebody went crazy with solder and everything is fused. I’m also not convinced that the clasp is original.[/QUOTE]
