Need a good antiques appraiser for this Art Deco Broach

[Sunshine1]

I absolutely love art deco pieces and that piece is stunning. When you get it appraised, can you please post if the sapphires are genuine or synthetic?
Synthetic sapphires and rubies where commonly used in art deco jewelry. It''s a very interesting part of it''s history and I would love to know if that beautiful piece follows in that path. I have a few art deco pieces myself! I love the look of sapphires next to diamonds.

Skippy, rob a bank, sell your house, whatever it takes. That is to DIE for!

Skippy, the brooch is gorgeous. Diamonds and sapphires are always a nice treat. I hope you get to keep it but at least it will stay in the family.

I am a little late here, but WOW what a lovely piece. I am glad you will be keeping it in your family Skippy. Those things can be so delicate to deal with.

It is so beautiful - please post some photos of your wearing it when you can. Love it!
