The 9ct Gold frame shows light, even patina with the rope‑twist border and recessed bezel crisp and secure; the pin, hinge and C‑clasp are strong and function well. The pin stem is a contrasting white‑metal tone to the mount, which may indicate a replacement at some point, and there is some trapped dust in the open recess, none of which affects wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lillicoco ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52038367543590,"sku":"C6110","price":1176.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1131\/5568\/files\/h3let2Fm4M99Q93lXdK6UanaY6ScCd0V0A8HIijXD_M.jpg?v=1770134276","url":"https:\/\/au.lillicoco.com\/products\/solid-9ct-gold-victorian-beetle-brooch","provider":"Lillicoco ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
