Her site states she only uses sterling and gold, and her work is absolutely extraordinary. Fabulous and huge! Sterling silver, 14k yellow gold and black drusy brooch. It is in excellent to like new condition. One quick note, the hinge part of the pinback has purposefully been soldered slightly sideways so that it opens and closes properly. Included with purchase is a converter so it can be worn as a pendant if preferred. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STEM PART OF THE PIN BACK MAY NOT BE STERLING SILVER.

Bio of Artist - Courtesy of her website: 

I am an independent jewelry designer and gold-silversmith. Techniques are hand fabricated, constructed and photo etching.
My design has two different themes. One is exploration of three dimensional abstraction. The other is organic and whimsical.
I use variety of natural gems. The beauty of natural gems has magical powers. They often leads me to create unique and fun designs.
I do most of my lapidary work myself as well as all of designs and production.
