Gold brooch. The brooch was made from a gold wire which begins with a large spiral terminal which then continues into a twisted wire body. At end of the body is the hinge of the brooch where the wire straightens and is then tightly coiled before being bent back to form the pin of the brooch. Along the twisted wire body are four sets of two spirals attached by strips. The clasp is a straight loop that is the link between the large spiral and the twisted wire body.
