I found it today in a 'kringwinkel' the Belgian equivalent of a second hand shop/thriftstore? I usually never find anything jewelry-wise worth my money or time there, but I believe this was an exception. I payed 2,5€. I think it started life as an Edwardian 'something'. Not sure what: a pendant, a brooch, a wire stopper or how do you call these things? My view is at one point in time it needed to be repaired and someone added an ugly brooch- closure and the pearl drop with some tin solder. The rest of the brooch is good quality and could even be (low) carat gold (my testing kit is on its way!) The pink stones are just paste. So what is your opinion? Did this piece start life like this? For the moment I keep it as is, and it lives on my winter coat[/QUOTE]
