Connemara marble, found in Galway County, Ireland, is a rare, serpentine-rich type of marble. The Gaelic word for "Connemara" means "inlets for the sea," an excellent descriptor for the region, which Oscar Wilde described as "savagely beautiful." The stone has a long history, dating back to the Neolithic people trading and carving the marble. Widely popular for Celtic jewelry, even today, this beautiful gemstone is a unique addition to your jewelry collection!
The brooch/pendant is in very good vintage condition with minimal wear. The silver surface has dark patina areas, mainly on the back and the recessed regions, which helps to date the piece. The brooch can be polished upon request. The marble is not chipped or cracked and is secure in the mounting. The back is stamped IRELAND 925, 92.5% silver or sterling silver. The brooch‘s pin is fully functional, and the pendant‘s bail is secure and undamaged.
The pin/pendant measures 1-3/4" tall and wide. The box is for display only.
