AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN PIN BROOCH & PENDANT GARNET CABOCHON TURQUOISE STERLING SILVER

Description: Very old highly collectible antique austro-hungarian brooch / pendant: *Lacy sterling silver filigree is set with a central raspberry red rhodolite garnet cabochon and framed with an interesting green blue turquoise like stone *I was assuming the green gems were bezel set turquoise, but upon close inspection they have scrape marks on each top. Perhaps they are some sort of early paste, manmade material, ceramic, or maybe this was just the method of setting/grinding the stones at the time. Totally interesting and original either way *The austro-hungarian empire was in existence c 1867-1918. I am estimating this pin to be late 1800's in age *There aren't any marks that I can find - but jewelry from this region and era is known to have very small hidden markings. It does test to be sterling silver *The loops on each end when the piece is laying horizontal vary in shape ever so slightly - I think it was designed that way so you could also wear this as a pendant *Even the reverse or back side has fancy scrolling engraving / metalwork *Simple c clasp pin back hardware *Measures approximately 1 5/8" x 1 1/8" *Great vintage condition - no damage or quirks to mention. View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear - as most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ: I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable. The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end. You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region. It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you. I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all. Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction. I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags. I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way. I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.
