Beautiful, Detailed Vintage or Antique Signed Sterling Silver and Marcasite Dimensional Openwork Leaf Pin or Brooch.
The brooch measures just under approximately 1 and 9/16 inches wide, by just over approximately 1 inch high, and roughly 1/4 of an inch deep, not including the pinback. (Inncluded is a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) Standard locking pinback. Stamped, "Sterling", on the edge of the pin, and signed with a conjoined, "JLS", or, "SJL", maker's mark. Weight is approximately 6.7 grams, which includes the stone weight, of course.
This brooch is in very nice older vintage condition. It will have the expected surface scratches and possibly tiny dings to the silver from age and normal wear. No missing marcasites. Hand polished, but it may need further attention due to tentative cleaning of marcasite jewelry. The standard locking pin back works fine. The pin is straight and remains sharp.
A very nicely crafted vintage signed Sterling silver and marcasite leafy brooch. Curvy and feminine, with sparkle to spare.
