Thank you Tamara! A simple, classical and beautiful brooch I would say.
But now I am confused... what stone is it in the center?? Gillw says its a ruby (a rubi from Ps Albert?), I find it too pink to be a "royal" rubi or an amethyst...
This brooch is puzzling me even more now. Provenance and info please?
