Jewelry

Oval brooch made of cobalt enamel over unknown metal. Karat gold twisted, welded wire forms the edge both on the outside and inside of the oval. A large karat gold leaf, with repoussé designs is welded to the oval as well as a twisted gold wire, perhaps to represent a grape leaf. Three coral beads are attached to wires in the center. There is a solid gold backing to the oval. Round hinge and early safety clasp may have been repaired. There is significant damage to 1/4 of the blue enameling. The pin stem extends significantly beyond the clasp and the pin. 1 3/8" long. 1" wide.
