Scottish . Silver Thistle and Amber Topaz Brooch Pin

Unavailable

Scotland. Silver Thistle  and Amber Topaz  Brooch Pin.

This brooch is silver, with a large orange raised stone in the center that tested positive for topaz.   with multiple claws holding the stone firmly in place,  The silver setting is  ornately engraved in a repeating thistle design,  It  measures  69 mm in diameter x 20 mm in height and  weighs 39 grams.    I brought up from an antique dealer in Belgium and was told that it was sterling.. However I do not see any markings.    The style of hinge and the "C" closure are excellent indicators that this is a very old piece.
