    I picked up this brooch because of its c-clasp. Any idea of its age and origin? 20171105_133923.jpg 20171105_133936.jpg

    Pretty brooch, nice graceful shapes. It is from Thailand.
    I think the term you were looking for is cloisonné, not filigree.
    Unfortunately C-clasp dating doesn't work for non-Western jewellery, and the C-clasp has even been seen on some later Western costume jewellery.
    Here are some in the same style, the dating could be a bit ambitious:

    Thank you! I didn't know the correct word for it.
    I'm still learning about jewellery, so this is good to know. Do you have any other tips or resources you can suggest that I can use to learn more?

    Same initials as yours AJ....Only instead of the U, an E could be added.......Any Jewelry Encyclopedia.......(a walking enclyclopedia at that!)

    Beautiful websites. I've visited MorningGlory before, but not AJU.

    Truly not trying to make your head swell.....you wear all hats quite well.:cat:
