West German Brooch, Vintage Large Blue Rivoli Crystal Brass Filigree Unsigned West German Square Brooch
This is a very striking Brass Filigree Brooch that sports Blue Rhinestones and one large Rivoli Crystal set in the center of the brooch. This brooch is in line with West German Jewelry from the early part of the 20th century. A perfect Accent for a winter coat or nice jacket / blazer. This brooch is square shaped and can also be pinned to represent a diamond shape.
• Size of the brooch is 2 1/8 inches in diameter
• Brooch has a Straight Pin that hooks into an old folded metal clasp
• Weight of the brooch is 22.5 grams
• Estimated age is Circa 1920s – age is being based on the hook type closure instead of a “C” Clasp, which is seen on the 1950+ pieces
• Condition is Good – it is possible that the pin was replaced with a silver colored pin somewhere along the way. That is where it would have been stamped “WEST GERMANY”. And the center stone gives the impression that it is loose, but it is not. It is bezel set and securely mounted from the center rivet of the brooch (please see back of the brooch)
• There are no hallmarks on this item **please note previous comments

How are RETURNS Handled?
If you chose to return an item, please reach out to me so that I know that the item is being returned and I can be sure to look for it in my future mail. Most items will be refunded fully. The EXCEPTION is if you have a ring resized. Unfortunately, I am forced to minus the cost of the ring sizing from the total amount that it was purchased for. Sizing costs can range from $25 to $50 dollars dependent on the ring size difference and whether the base metal of the ring is silver or gold. The most common cost to me is $35.00 for most rings. The remainder of the amount of the item will be refunded to you just as soon as I receive the item back.
