Victorian child's brooch - Hallmarked silver and hand set marcasites!</em></td>

<td width="100%">
A very small sterling silver brooch with individually hand set marcasites along the body and wings with a tiny ruby red color stone for the eye - the closure on the back is the old "C" close. This delightful little brooch measures only 25m wide from east to west and 15m in height - or approximately 3/4" x 1/2" - it was probably made for a child and is a very lovely brooch showing the little bird with open wingspan in flight.
There is a hallmarking on the back and this brooch does test positive for silver. The marcasites are all present and back in Victorian times, marcasites where all hand set and not machine set as they are in present times. There is etched detailing at the tip of the wings and tail.
Excellent condition, would also be small enough for doll jewelry.
