Gold plated copper Victorian leafy brooch with acrostic symbolism- a popular trend in Victorian times. I had high hopes these were real stones as most of these are, but alas, 2 jewelers have tested it and they are glass. Czech glass, to be specific.
Acrostic jewelry spells out a word using the first letters of the gems- in this case "REGARDS". Glass in the colors of
Ruby
Emerald
Garnet
Amethyst
Ruby
Diamond
Sapphire
No markings, some wear. Missing a leaf. Absolutely stunning and rare.
2" long, 1" wide
