Antique Brooches

This beautiful pin was given to me in 1970 by a Family member of our neighbour who passed away in her 90's. I wore it for several years and received a lot of compliments when I wore it. Eventually it landed up just sitting in my jewelry box so I sold it.

This brooch was purchased at a closing sale of an Antique barn in Quebec. It most likely was a mourning brooch of the deceased man. It has a lot of crazing on the glass on the top. This has signs of green oxidation which looks like it is copper.

This is a very rare and unique floral detailed brooch. It is possibly brass as there are signs of oxidation on the back. The picture is of a landscape and looks almost 3d when moved.
