Gorgeous! This brooch may be Baltic amber, but we don't know for sure. The metal is not solid gold, but we think it is likely gold filled. Possibly brass? It is in FAIR condition--it is still very wearable but has substantial crazing. We also believe there should have been carved leaves all the way around the brooch. We are leaving the jump ring on, but you can tell it was put on the bale later on. A wonderful addition to any collection. Please see photos for more detail.
