Antique 14k Gold Victorian Spiral Shell Brooch Hand Decorated Gold Wire
Appliques BEAUTIFUL
This Superb Piece was Handcrafted in the Late
19th Century with a Meticulously Detailed Wire Applique Design. The Gold Wire was carefully applied by hand. This piece is unique in that no one else in the world has a piece with this same design. The added plate fused to the back allows this piece to ALSO be worn as a
Necklace Pendant rather than as the Brooch. This Brooch is in magnificent condition, especially since it is from 1894. The delicate work and artistry has been impeccably preserved.
