    This has some similarity, described as a vintage mistletoe brooch. I love finding items overlooked in the charity shops because most of them here in uk have been checked over before going on sale, often by jewellers!

    They probably missed it because it's not a UK hallmark. I wonder if it's Mikimoto or another good Japanese pearl company.

    I saw the leaves are different in reality, thought maybe it was a designers stylised version.

    Looks like it was repaired and the maker's mark could be under the solder on the leaf.

    I agree.. the one leaf does look different and I vaguely see a mark on it I'll try and take a better photo there's a lady here that photo shops stuff maybe she can do her magic

    A lot of American ones just had the metal mark, and some not even that.

    Did you check the underside of the pin for a mark?

    If there was a maker's mark,it's probably under the solder next to the pin hinge.There is a lot of excess solder where it doesn't belong.

    Your pin was in at least 3 or more pieces before it was repaired,one leaf and the stem with the pearl connected above the 14K mark.The photos are hard to see exactly where else.
