Antique Wishbone & Four Leaf Clover Brooch, 10K

About This Brooch:

This stunning antique wishbone and clover brooch features an old European diamond set in the center, surrounded by a beautiful patina that transitions from a greenish to pink pink hue. A unique and elegant way to add a touch of antique glamour to any outfit.

 

Condition:

It is in good antique condition. The pin is slightly bent, normal due to wear. The patina is strong, especially on the clover. Solder marks on the back are darker than the surrounding gold. The pin on the hinge does not appear to be made out of gold, probably a replacement (please see photo).

The diamond is very bright and lively with a large cutlet. There are a few little knicks and inclusions very difficult to see without magnification.
