Featured Opinions on era and style, please ty

Hello everyone,
Got this in a bag of goodies. Was wondering if you could tell me anything about it. Era, style, etc.

It is 14k and cabochon garnets. I don’t think it’s quite antique yet because of the closure type. I thought the mark on the bar might be something but I cannot make anything out

What do you think? Any help is very much appreciated

Thank you

 

It's a vintage circle pin, a style that was the height of fashion in the 1960s.

That little mark on the pin looks to me like it might say JL, OR it could be IL, but it IS pretty blurry.... others should be checking in!! LOVELY PIN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I agree its 1960's. High end 14k and garnet. Can't make out the mark on the pin though...

 

Ty! I like the stones. They have great color

 

Great find! Very classy.

 

A lot of your questions might be answered by identifying the maker using the stamp on the pin. A fine quality piece from the looks of it. I'm kind of with everyone else circa 1960's, thou I may go back as far as the 1950's.

I tried taking a gander at the mark on the pin, but the image pixilated when it expanded so kind of out of luck on that end

Nice find!

 

The front looks early 60s, but that funky clasp looks like the ones I associate with 1905-1920 or thereabouts. But the hinge looks 50s-ish. So maybe a jeweler found a cache of the old clasps somewhere? Wouldn't be the first time.

 

I was thinking such with the clasp, but they do still use them, but I was thinking with the cabochon garnets, clasp and quality, it could be 1905 to 1920. I decided to refrain from my optimism and just recommend he figure out who the maker was, as I figured if its a known maker, then it might go a long way to identifying the period

 

I’m going to break out the telescope and see if I can see what is marked on the pin! I’ll be back

 

I don’t know if you ever found your answer but it looks Edwardian to me… Shape of pin and stone shape along w the clasp. One of the marks looks like a V which would mean (at least according to this source) 1920.
