Our opinion : A very fine quality antique brooch with an original theme. The history of this jewel : This brooch was custom-made in the 1940s by its former owner, a painter. She designed the jewel, chose each of the stones to adorn it and had to save up for many months, due to lack of funds, before being able to pay the craftsman who made this magnificent piece. This vintage brooch was then passed on to her daughter at the time of her inheritance. Specialized in antique and creation jewelry since 1975, we deliver all our jewel with their certificate of authenticity, written by our certified antique jewelry expert and graduated gemologist, which presents the exact characteristics of the jewelry at the time of its writing. Each piece of jewelry is checked and repolished by our French workshop, controlled by our expert before being shipped: metal, gem, structure... and presented in a neat and qualitative gift wrapping. The shipment is made thanks to an adapted way of shipping with insurance and tracking number.
