<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 308209, member: 3974"]Recently purchased from an overseas(France) seller on Ebay (listed as 835 silver and marcasites) - when it arrived here the package had been smushed a bit and the C clasp is now bent over at 90 degrees - and the pin is bent a bit as well. About the brooch - is it French? And how old? My other question is should I attempt to bend the C back - and straighten out the pin - or is this a better job for a jeweler? Here's some pics (also just to show off how pretty it is!) </p><p><br /></p><p>~</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]101545[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]101546[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]101547[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]101548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]101549[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
