This is I believe an Art Deco Brooch. Several years ago I purchased this one from a local shop. It is a beautiful blue color, all stones present, no discoloration. It is one of my favorites. I dont know anything about it, other then, I love it !
I assume it was part of a set, with matching earrings ? most brooches were?
Let me know if you have any information regarding this brooch ?

It is beautiful for sure! It helps to see the back when trying to identify jewelry. Also, are there any markings on back?
Oh, I didnot include any back pictures, I will try to remember to do so, no this one has no markings on the back :(
Do you know the maker ?
I would date it as 1960s or later, we don't usually see marquise shaped stones on Art Deco jewelry.
Davyd286, ok thank you for your information. Would this brooch possibly be a part of a parure ? value ?
