I was so lucky to have found this in a box lot, I can't believe it, now I need help with dating the item. I think the leaves are green gold. I put the stones on the gem tester and it said the middle was ruby/sapphire and the purple ones I could not tell but kinda went between spinel, topaz and sapphire. I know the presidium will not say if synthetic or not but no biggie. The pin/pendant is not marked but tested solidly as 14k with acid and the auracle metal detector. I was thinking because of the trombone closure and the fact that it's not marked might make it an antique but I'm no expert and I was wondering if you guys would chime in, please??? My weekend bling!!! wooo hooo This is why I love doing this The hunt is so much fun Thank you guys in advance

Does this help? Do you see green gold leaves too or is it my old eyes messing with me?

That's a beauty, gauntlett! The center stone could be pink sapphire or a synthetic. I love green gold! Looks like a nice size, too!
