[QUOTE="KSW, post: 9431662, member: 8708"]I’m not normally savage but who ever ‘repaired’ this brooch actually needs their hands chopped off! Poor thing found in a box of scrap dolls and junk china, I think the dealer just looked at the clasp and thought it was junk which I hope it isn’t :hilarious: I’d love some help to unpick any information about it please. The garnets are all faceted differently and different thicknesses. The gold tests as 14k (but could be plate) and the modern clasp is base metal. The shocking solder job has obliterated any marks if they ever existed! 2cm long. Any thoughts please? Thankyou :-) [ATTACH=full]435632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435633[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435638[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435640[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
