Pretty Vintage Sarah Coventry Brooch; this gorgeous brooch would
double up as a pendant as it has a loop for stringing; what most appealed
me to this piece was the fabulous Venetian glass cabochons -
the prettiest turquoise, white and goldstone flecks - the brooch/ pendant
is in lovely vintage condition with no wear and tear or
damage that I can see other than a tiny bit of wear to the plating on
the pin fitting where it has been opened and closed by its former owner;

Blue Bohemian Brooch - small but beautiful! This is a lovely Victorian
piece - a brass base with a central set faceted Sapphire blue glass

Multi-Coloured Brooch; sparkly brooch with lots of lovely colour
- nice quality piece with a gold-plated back - this piece has been signed

darkening which is in line with its age (approx. 1970's), not detrimental
to the piece at all, just mentioned for accuracy - the brooch measures
