A NO RESERVE auction on a beautiful Victorian era amethyst paste and white enamel brooch crafted in solid 14K yellow gold.  The two large round cut purple paste stones are approximately 1.5 carats each.  They are bezel set and surrounded by white enamel, which makes the purple pop.  A flower design is on either side of the brooch, with a small purple paste set in the center of each.  The brooch has a combination of a textured gold finish and a smooth gold finish.  Worn with a typical “C clasp” found in Victorian era pieces.
