[QUOTE="Indianajonez, post: 979107, member: 4404"]Hi peeps, I have just recently acquired a Martin Meyer brooch with the wheel, star & 935 hallmarks. This one is a little puzzling, in that it looks like it might have been altered to swivel on an added unmarked solid gold pin. As you will see from the photos it is of a butterfly, with what I believe to be glass turquoise, glass amethyst and paste stones. The butterfly swivels beautifully on the pin. I could be wrong but if you look closely at the photos you will see what looks like filed or sawn marks on both front wings (Back of brooch), this suggests to me that the butterfly was originally fixed to something else at those points (Hope I'm making sense lol) Anyone have any idea if Martin Meyer made rotating pieces of jewellery, or many butterfly pieces, I did see a butterfly piece but that one was encrusted with precious stones. Thanks, Indy [ATTACH=full]205283[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
