Description

appears to be a vintage or antique brooch featuring an oval, pink cat's eye stone (or similar effect in glass or simulated material) set in an ornate silver-toned metal, possibly sterling silver. The elaborate, scrolled metalwork suggests a possible Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, or Mexican silver style. Key Details Style: The metalwork features intricate, swirling filigree designs and small silver beads, a style seen in various vintage and artisan jewelry. Stone: The prominent oval center stone exhibits a distinct line of light that moves across its surface (known as "chatoyance"), which is characteristic of a cat's eye gemstone, moon glow glass, or similar imitation material. Material: Similar pieces found online are often sterling silver or silver-plated, with some authentic vintage pieces being highly valuable. Without visible hallmarks or professional testing, the exact metal purity is difficult to confirm. Potential Origin: Due to the detailed silver craftsmanship, some similar designs are associated with Mexican silversmithing from areas like Taxco.
