Antique 1920's Art Deco Sterling Marcasite and Onyx Pin, Sterling Wachenheimer Brooch Pin, Antique Deco Chrysoprase Pin

Absolutely beautiful sterling Art Deco Wachenheimer Brother's brooch pin from the 1920's. I love Wachenheimer jewelry as they used semi-precious stones in their jewelry designs and made gorgeous Art Deco jewelry This pin has a large onyx cabochon in the center and is surrounded by rectangular green chrysoprase stones with two onyx stones on each end that are all prong set. The pin is accented with sparkling marcasites. The back of the pin is marked "sterling" and "Wachenheimer" which is a little hard to make out. Absolutely beautiful statement piece from the Art Deco period.

Marks: Brooch pin is marked "sterling" and "Wachenheimer" (missing the W and hard to make out) on the back.
