Re: Oval Brooch/Pendant Victorian Lady
This type of brooch was widely sold to the tourist trade in Italy, in the 1970's. Although marked 18k, it is plated over brass base metal. The initials simply respresent the maker of the setting. the artist of the painting on front, will normally have his initials somehere on the painting.
