This stunning brooch is made with 18k yellow gold and weighs 10.3g. The design is a "leaf branch" in a crescent shape and hi-lighted with three round stones that I believe to be rubies. The design of the leaves have both a shiny and textured finish. The branch has a shiny finish. The rubies are all prong set and have some scratches and a couple small chips on the edge of the table but you'll need a loupe to see this. The measurements are 1 3/4" wide and 1 1/2" in height. It is stamped "Italy 750" (750 being the European equivalent of 18k) on the back of the pin, near the hinge - close up picture, #3. The closure is a locking "C" clasp and works perfectly and stays securely closed until ready to be opened. I will mail either USPO or FedEx with tracking and insurance as soon as your payment posts. Thanks for looking
