<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9504755, member: 10944"]I’ve cleaned off the brooch I found metal detecting this summer. I’d say it’s about 90% clean. It’s a real beauty! I think the ring around the center diamond was covered in black enamel originally. The diamonds made my tester sing. I know we don’t do values here but I have no intention of ever selling this piece and I’d like to know what people think just for my own personal curiosity. I see a lot of similar pieces with paste stones in the 250-500 range. Assuming this was professionally repaired I was thinking 500-1000 was probably pretty reasonable but I wonder if someone with much more experience selling Victorian jewelry may think differently? I didn’t see many results for examples with genuine diamonds.
