This is a pin brooch (tie pin) made with genuine pearls. *The pin itself is K18 (18 karat gold) only. There are some areas on the pearls that appear to be discolored. This is a vintage item, so there is some wear and tear, but overall it is in good condition and I think it is a relatively clean item. Please check the condition in the photos. We ask that you purchase this item if you understand that it is a vintage item. I am also selling this item on other sites, so please let me know before you purchase it.
