Who was born in July?  This striking, lovely, gold colored brooch has a simulated or real Ruby embedded in it...July's birthstone.  The Brooch, with pin closure, is 2.5 inches long x 1 inch wide. It is in the shape of an intricately striated, curved leaf. There are no visible markings, but it appears to be gold plated.  It is very elegant and shiny, a beautiful design, and definitely makes a statement.
