This is a little 1 1/4 inch brooch that I found in some of my Mother's jewelry I was left, after she passed. It was missing the 4 stones and was filthy to the point it was sticky. I cleaned just enough of the patina off to make it pop to the eye. The missing stones I replaced with 4 3mm round diamonds, 2 white and 2 champaign colored, that I had in my collection of stones. It was hard to get a good picture to show the sparkle of the diamonds and the shimmer of the mother of pearl. She shines like a brite star now though. I use is as a tie clasp now.
