diamonds in all. There are 3 small creamy white pearls representing buds.

2-1/8" long (including pearl drop) and 1-1/4" wide. The sides are
nicely pierced and the brooch has a C-clasp. There are unidentified hallmarks
(possibly Russian) and unidentified maker's marks. Addition of a chain will make
this a wonderfully versatile piece. The brooch/pendant is in excellent condition $1900.00
