A lovely example of a regency brooch which has 2 clasps on the back, which are formed as a brooch fitting. It was probably part of a larger piece, or perhaps could have converted to a pendant. As it stands, one can still remove the brooch fitting and convert it into a slide for a collar. The design is typical for the period, 18ct gold studded with rubies diamonds and natural pearls, in the original box (red Morocco leather with cream silk inside)
