Lot 779 , An Edwardian gold and silver, sapphire and diamond bee brooch, 35mm.

An Edwardian gold and silver, sapphire and diamond bee brooch, with cabochon set eyes, 35mm.
Estimate £600-800

One of the cabochon eyes has a few minor nibbles to the surface. The pin on the back maybe a later addition as the old brooch attachment in the centre of the back appears to have been filled (lead solder) and replaced with the pin?? A couple of the diamonds have tiny chips, otherwise the piece in in good condition, commensurate with age and use.
