Breathtaking sky blue colored faux turquoise and enameling makes this Victorian brooch very special.  The beautiful mottled oval blue stone shows gold flecks which are iron pyrite inclusions or fools gold.  The stone is 1 1/4" long and chanel set in the center of gold plated brass filigree of flowers and millegrain lace.  Four matchng sky blue enameled florets accent the top, bottom and sides.  This pin is from the late 1800's and has a marking on it's C-clasp of a Maltese Cross, a mark used by the Clark & Coombs Company of Providence, Rhode Island who produced costume jewlery during this era.  This piece is in excellent condition and overall it measures 1 3/4" long by 1 1/8" wide.
