    VICTORIAN six-pointed star, an amazing 4" wide paste star brooch in sterling silver. It is heavy has an unusual blunt-ended pinIt is interesting also in the way it was made. There is a base plate, but the top portion that holds the stones was a thick piece of sterling silver, and the collet settings for the stones were carved out of that rather than soldered on. The paste stones are all original but they are a combination of European and mine cuts. The back is gold plated and has a tube hinge and c-catch, typically Victorian. What a beautiful celestial piece of antique jewelry circa 1860. View View Product #39839 All items in excellent vintage condition unless otherwise noted.
