Ruby, Emerald & Diamanté Layered Brooch

This glass beaded brooch has foil-backed, pear-shaped diamantés set in silver-tone frames that form the base. On top are layers of ruby- and emerald-poured-glass beads and additional pear-shaped stones. The components are wired onto a silver-tone filigree back with a trombone clasp. Probably made in France in the late-1950s to early-1960s, this substantial piece is nearly one-inch high! Two stones have darkened a bit, but they are much brighter than the photos indicate. This jewel still has plenty of sparkle!
