Italian Handmade Sterling Silver Gilded Filigree Dahlia Enamel Cloisonné Brooch / Pin / Antique USA Western

This is a handcrafted sterling silver brooch from Italy, featuring woven sterling silver gilded threads in a floral design with beautiful double-layered openwork. Filigree is an ancient metalworking technique where threads are handcrafted into three-dimensional forms, requiring delicate and time-consuming workmanship. While filigree jewelry is more famously associated with Portugal, I personally find the filigree jewelry from Italy and Germany to be equally beautiful. It is of excellent quality but is a pre-owned item, so please do not compare it to new items or have excessively high expectations. 🙏🏻 ⚜️ Circa 1950s~1970s ⚜️ Hallmarked, but the mark is unclear ⚜️ 800 silver, enamel ⚜️ Approximately 2.37g ⚜️ Length approximately 2.1cm ⚜️ Shows normal signs of wear; please examine the photos carefully. **Sourced from the UK** 👀 Please note that measurements are taken with a tape measure, so slight variations are normal.
