Gold-tone flower rhinestone brooch with odd hook on the back.

This pin is not marked. It is 1 7/8" across.

I have seen pins that are used to hold a lady's watch & have one that I need to get listed that I have paired with an old Gruen watch.

However, this hook is totally different & I was not able to hang the watch from the hook.

Any ideas as to what the hook was used for?

It appears to be original to the pin.





Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!!

 

Just for clarification, this is the other watch & pin that I referenced in the above post.

 

There may have been a complementary pendant that could be added to dress the piece up for evening wear or removed for something suitable for daytime.

 

Well if that is the case the odds of finding it is unlikely at least where I am concerned.

I haven't a clue as to when this pin came into my possession. So if I ever did have anything that matched it God only knows if it still resides in one of those drawers over in the corner.
