  • Antique Victorian Enamel Sterling Silver Yellow Bird on Branch Lapel Pin Brooch
    Located in North Attleboro, MA
    This hand-crafted antique Victorian brooch was forged from sterling silver and features a sweet enameled yellow bird perched on a silver branch.

The verso is stamped SILVER and the C-clasp is handmade. It's always exciting to find antique jewelry...
