Vintage WELLS Pine Cone Brooch Pin Sterling Vermeil Pearls Gold Plated Christmas

Lovely vintage pine cone branch brooch by WELLS in vermeil finish (gold-plating over sterling silver), accented with three real pearls. Gold karat unknown. Stamped WELLS STER. on back. There are two branches that are not plated (see second pic), so they are exposed silver and will polish up nicely. This would work as a holiday pin or any time of year for a nature lover.
