This elegant European silver and bloodstone brooch features a large oval bloodstone cabochon that measures approximately 13 by 18mm in the bezel setting. The remainder of the brooch is elaborately detailed openwork, with scrolls and flourishes filling a rectangular roped form. The reverse of the brooch is hallmarked 800 for European silver. The bloodstone looks black in some light, but changes to a very dark green in bright light; the cabochon is smooth and unmarked.
Condition: this antique silver and bloodstone Edwardian brooch is in excellent vintage condition. There are some areas of tarnish on the back of the brooch, but this has been left as part of the antique patina. The pin and clasp are functional, and this brooch features a sliding cap that completely encloses the tip of the pin.

**Shipping Information**
Shipping costs are the cost of mailing an item, along with any necessary packing/packaging materials. If shipping costs seem high, sometimes they are. When estimating for the purposes of listing an item on Etsy, I have to list the most expensive possible shipping destination in a given country. More expensive items are shipped with tracking and insurance, which adds to the cost. If the difference between my shipping estimate and actual costs are greater than $2, I will refund you the difference.
If you are thinking of purchasing an item, contact me with your postal or mailing code, and I will check the precise shipping costs. For less expensive items (under $50), I am willing to ship by cheaper options, but please be aware that this can extend shipping times by 4 to 8 weeks for international shipping to some destinations.
In short, not turning a profit on postage, but need to cover the costs getting lovely jewellery from me to you!
