Antique barrette brooch from the famous ORIA house, circa 1920. This hallmarked gold-plated jewelry features an authentic old patina and a refined design typical of its time. It is set with a central red stone and rhinestones, some of which have taken on a grayish hue with age, testifying to its history. The dimensions are approximately 7.5 cm long and about 1.5 cm at the widest part of the design, with a weight of about 4.42 g. The quality of craftsmanship from the ORIA house is far superior to modern gold plating. At that time, the process used a particularly thick and durable layer of gold, offering longevity and brilliance similar to solid gold, far beyond current standards.
