    Nice, Art Deco. Could you post a photo of the hallmark please?
    The lozenge shape is a French maker's mark.

    When posting photos of brooches, it is best to show the complete back. We live by hinges and clasps.;)

    This is the entire back, with hallmark close up. Looks like a double headed axe B4E3CD51-100D-4E8A-8112-7682F5833918.jpeg 2F3DE42C-BB32-4C0C-8FA6-52F71CE9BFD6.jpeg with FC

    That is the maker's mark, not a hallmark. The French use a maker's mark in a lozenge shape.
    Looks like a bird or a bat to me, but wdik.;)

    PC. Beyond that I couldn't say, except that's a NICE brooch. The French are known to hide their marks, so it's probably a) bitty and b) someplace weird.
