This priceless, beyond rare, original, as good as undamaged surprisingly heavy vintage 1940s solid silver Ciro broochis an absolute beauty, I saw a similar but not as spectacular CIRO brooch sold on another auction site last year for almost £200, the one I saw sold had discolored stones, whereas not one of these is discolored, they are all bright white & look like diamonds under artificial light, it is spectacular.  

It measures exactly 4.4cm (1.6") across the widest point & 3cm (1.3") deep, & weighs around  gms, you can clearly read CIROs stamp SCP to the backs of the piece

I do not have this brooch in my treasured CIRO book on jewellery, but believe it to be dated to the 1940s, the fabulous stylised sweeping frond or feather is completely encrusted with claw set pastes & looks astonishing, I have taken photos in both daylight & under artificial light to show that this looks as good in daylight as in the evening. 

Beautifully finished throughout with lovely workmanship, as much care going into finishing off the back as to the front.  I have been collecting CIRO for years & have rarely seen a better example

I keep loosing count, but there are at least 70 pastes, I have gone over this with a toothcomb & there are only 2 stones which have any nibbles, clearly hand finished throughout, with sublime workmanship, the pin is lovely & tight & only ever so slightly out of straight.

This is fit for the serious Deco / Retro jewellery collector.  The pin having a flip-over safety catch, not sure if the pin is silver (they rarely are being that silver is too soft) . This does what it was intended to do, to replicate diamonds & looks simply astonishing under artificial light, will be shipped in a box but not the original Ciro box, if it turns up of course you can have it.

 ( I recommend you measure against other brooches you own to give an idea as to the size )
