A woman was left stunned after a brooch she bought at a market for less than 20 pounds ($25) during the 1980s turned out to be a rare Victorian treasure—worth 15,000 pounds (approx. $19,000).

Flora Steel, a Rome-based jewelry enthusiast, purchased the silver brooch 35 years ago not realizing it was a “historically significant” piece of jewelry dating back to the 19th century.
