[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10772460, member: 2844"]Charming brooch, Rays. Certainly made in different workshops. The 14k indicates a non-European country and also rules out quite a few others. Do you see any marks on the front? They could be tiny. Dip a soft cloth in lukewarm soapy water and wipe the dirt off. Don't soak it in soapy water, and don't use a brush or other hard or abrasive method. If some gold parts that don't have pearls are still dirty, you can use a cotton bud with alcohol on those. Avoid alcohol on the pearls. Looks like the girl is picking grapes and the boy brambles and there are berry or grape leaves, so to me the pearls are also a more appropriate depiction of grapes/berries than diamonds are.[/QUOTE]
