Description: |
|
Vintage signed "STERLING" basket pin with bead set marcasites.
Weight is 16.4 grams, circa
1950s.
Vintage jewelry made with marcasites prior to 1960 is superior in quality
compared to marcasite jewelry today. Marcasites are bead set and not
glued in. The marcasite jewelry today is cheaply made with glued in
stones that have a very good chance of falling out over time.
