Item Description:
An unusual brooch measuring 3-3/4" long x 1" at widest point. I'd say Art Deco, you might say Art Moderne but either way it is a unique design. Quality workmanship and signed on the back 925 along with another hallmark I cannot make out. At first I thought it might be Mexican Sterling, but the mark just doesn't follow.
FAQ - Sterling silver is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy metals. Pure silver is too soft to make into anything that will hold its shape. When silver comes in contact with other substances it will tarnish. To prevent tarnishing, it is best to store your sterling silver items in an airtight container or box when not in use but avoid anything containing rubber as it will hasten the tarnishing process. Plastic bags are also not recommended. Sterling can be cleaned just using warm sudsy soap and water but excess tarnish may require a professional tarnish remover. You can purchase anti-tarnish tabs online and at jewelry and department stores for use in storing your silver jewelry.
