[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 4246505, member: 5006"]It seems it began its life as a 18th century aigrette (hair ornament).:cyclops: The remaining elements were put back together (either from old damage or because fashion...) as a brooch, using lead solder because of enamel and stones foils (can see evidence of colored foil under the red stone!) couldn't stand the heat of better solder. I take the bets for diamonds as clear stones! Have them tested ;) Your jewellery, IF used to work on older pieces, can certainly improve it :) [URL]https://www.antique-brooches.com/georgian-diamond-flower-brooches/[/URL][/QUOTE]
