A jeweler used to live in the house I currently live in and I can't seem to find anything about this brooch I found. Trying to figure out the worth. Any ideas? The tag says 645.00 and the name next to it I can't seem to find either. 20180210_132134.jpg 20180210_132148.jpg

Is there a mark on the piece somewhere?
Photos of the back would help, too.

Very beautiful!
This looks like a custom made piece, possibly gold with garnets. And diamonds, too!
The inscription might be the jewelers initials.
A jewelry/pawn shop can test it and confirm it's gold.
Apparently, it was once worth 645.00.
Was it hidden in the house?

Thanks for the help :) the owner died and he had a safe that was left in the house that we broke open and found some really cool things in it. He had no living family I guess. So the landlord said whatever was in the safe we could have.

Wow! Good for you!
Beautiful pin...you should wear it!
But if you sell it, remember the 645.00 tag! Don't let it go for cheap.

Well that's a cool story And a cool pin! Seriously though buying a house with a safe of goodies is every girl's dream along with a lifetime supply of chocolate and wine :twisted2:
