A charming vintage 9ct yellow gold bar brooch featuring a pretty Cameo in the centre. Cameos are classic beauties, they are miniature works of art and make timeless gifts for all occasions.
The brooch has been Designed & Made in England. On the outer rim of the cameo setting there is a Full Hallmark which includes 375 and the unique symbols of the Assay Office where the fine metal content of the ring was tested and verified. Their mark on the ring is your independent assurance that this ring is made of Solid 9ct Gold. The Assay Office has been testing and marking precious metal articles since the 14th Century.
