Featured Can someone help me with my brooches? Thank you in advance!

Dear members of the Antiquers forum,

About a month or two ago I've bought three brooches, they can be seen down below. I would like to know more about these brooches like age, country of origin, background information etc. The woman I've bought the golden with black in the center and purple brooch from said that they were from the 70's, can someone confirm that for me? Any information about these three brooches are welcome! Thank you in advance! (English is not my native language, so ignore the mistakes )

 

Thank you I need help! I will post a picture of the backs and their marks

 

Hi and WELCOME to Antiquers, Flower!!! Great pictures so far!!! And your English seems perfectly fine, so don't worry about it!!!! Others will be along to help more... just be sure your images are under 1 MB!!!

 

Good to hear!

 

Hello everyone,

Here are to pictures of their backs and their marks







The closure of this brooch is a little curved, but it is still closable.


There's a little spot on the back, maybe it's a little rust. But I have actually no idea



There's a little white line next to the center.


Next to the gold there are black spots, but they're discrete.


I'm not sure if this is a mark, but I post it just in case

That was all, I hope that I have helped everyone out!

 

Hello, Flower. I'm not one of the experts either. But to me they look earlier than the 1970s, more like 1940s. The first one looks to me like it could have been the decoration on a hat.

 

It doesn't matter I Need Help But sadly I couldn't see any initials or names on the pin.

 

Thank you for your information!

 

Good to hear that! I'm excited!

 

I was thinking the same, if you hold it up in the air you can see that the little beads form a bunch of grapes.

 

They look newer to me, except the velvet one. Someone put a pinback on what was a piece of a hat, looks like. The one with the grapes is odd; it looks like it ought to date from the 50s, but that pinback looks seriously recent. So...dunno.

 

On the velvet one you can see some glue spots, i couldn't photograph it so well. About the grapes, I thought the same, it seemed the most logical to me that they came from the 1950s. Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it

 

Welcome to the forum, Flower.
Great pictures, and wonderful English. I am Dutch, and the others seem to understand me. Or they just humour me. They are very nice.

Like Bronwen, I don't know much about costume jewellery, but the grapes brooch looks the oldest to me. Those pre-made all-in-one closures have been around since the 1930s, and I would guess 1930s-40s for that one.

 

Good to hear that my English is good The few days I've been here on this forum I already seen very nice people Thank you for your information Any Jewelry! I learn new things here everyday!

 

It doesn't open and close, I think it was very strong glue that they've used Later this day i will post a picture of were the pinback is attached, so that everyone has a better view on it.
