Vintage 14ct Gold RG Designer Pearl Spray Brooch c1950 Kordes & Lichtenfels

Genuine Vintage 14ct Gold RG Designer Pearl Spray Brooch

Hello there and welcome (kroeso) to my wee store.

I sell online in high-end shops and websites and pre-Covid used to attend trade fairs around the globe.  I have a huge stock of "bargain basement" items which were great at fairs for inexpensive extras.  I also have a massive stock of highly valuable and collectable items never seen before on the internet.

I find it heart-breaking that brooches such as this no longer seem to have the appeal they once did as they are one of the most versatile pieces of jewellery you could have.
A spray brooch like this could be worn on so many pieces of clothing providing an elegant statement.

CONDITION REPORT
Many of my brooches are VERY old and have some signs of this.  I ensure they are fully operational and can be worn from arrival but I do not like polishing them to "as new" because I feel this detracts from their history.  I will consider doing so, for a small fee, if you ask nicely ;-)

ROLLED GOLD: Over the decades I have bathed many many kilos of old gold items in acid to purify the gold content back to 24ct.  The older methods did not use thin plates of gold like today's plating but used solid gold in the construction.
Rolled Gold is a technique where solid plates of gold are mechanically fused onto a base metal.  Very high quality and will not wear if looked after.
Over many years my average yield of gold from rolled gold items is 4.2%
For a 14ct item such as this that equates to the outer 7.2% being made of gold.

I guarantee all items to be as described and will accept a return on anything you are not happy with.
