Antique Cameo Brooch or Pin Signed West Germany Gold Brooch

Price $145

"This very ornate cameo pin is signed West Germany and dates from the late 1950's or early 1960's. This is an exceptional cameo in design, quality and condition. The brooch has a high domed setting of tiered, ornate gold gilted filigree work. The carved cameo is dark grey to black lava glass. The cameo is set in a gold metal crown point or dog tooth setting and is surrounded with small white faux pearls and black glass chatons. The brooch is in mint condition with no wear or signs of age. The entire piece is all original and there are no scratches on the cameo, chatons or pearls. The brooch is signed West Germany on the bar pin closure. It has the original safety clasp closure made of brass. The piece is 1 3/4"" tall x 1 1/4"" wide and it stands out front to back 1/2"" high. The brooch is exceptionally clean. A gorgeous Bohemian cameo! * In Monica and Patricia Clements Book, Cameos, A Pocket Guide, on pg 109 you can view a matching West German pendant and earring set that has a book value of $ 295-325."
