<p>[QUOTE="dcfirebottle, post: 321867, member: 6388"]Pretty sure it's called a duette brooch. I think the two pieces that it breaks into, are dress clips (Please correct me if I'm wrong). Had it for quite a few years, after my grandmother owned it for sometime. It has no marks other than 14k on each piece plus a serial number (that you can only see with a jewelers loupe) on each piece</p><p>Any guess to it's age or style? Also pretty sure those are natural faceted sapphires (9 on each piece 2-2.5 mm each). Do stones such as these add any real value to the piece or is it mainly just the gold?</p><p>Asking because I'm thinking of parting with it. My wife doesn't care for it very much and never wears it. Any comments on where to sell? Truly appreciate all comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107148[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107149[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107150[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
