These are beautiful Vintage/Antique Brooches that I purchased at a local shop ! I love them but dont know anything about them. The small green stone/white stone one has a sterling stamp on the back, however, the other two brooches are not signed.
If anyone knows what type they are please let me know. I would like to know the value, possible type of stones, materials they are made of etc. I know the red stone brooch, is made with mother of pearl.
