[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9453312, member: 2844"]Stunning brooch, drg. 1860-1880 imo. Using different colours gold in one piece was fashionable at the time, even earlier. And I'm with the others, the clasp is a replacement. Not a repair, necessarily. My mother always had C-clasps replaced with safety catches. This model with the rounded sides is a later one, so not antique. Maybe 1960s or later. The early roll safety clasp with the flat sides dates from the late 20s.[/QUOTE]
