Vintage Peacock Pin - Emeralds - Rubies - Gold Plated - Figural - India



A pretty vintage peacock pin or brooch. It is very ornate with individually 
set emeralds and rubies. It is gold plated metal. I believe that this piece is 
from India, but I cannot say for sure. A locking clasp that is in working order. 

Measurements:
The brooch measures approximately 2" by 2".

Condition:
---Some of the stones are scratched and chipped. (I could see this through a loupe.)
---There is some wear and darkening to the gold plated finish.

---The pin stem has a slight bend. Still functions properly.
