Gold plated copper Victorian leafy brooch with acrostic symbolism- a popular trend in Victorian times. I had high hopes these were real stones as most of these are, but alas, 2 jewelers have tested it and they are glass. Czech glass, to be specific.

Acrostic jewelry spells out a word using the first letters of the gems- in this case 'REGARDS'. Glass in the colors of

Ruby

Emerald

Garnet

Amethyst

Ruby

Diamond

Sapphire

No markings, some wear. Missing a leaf. Absolutely stunning and rare.
