[QUOTE="nastina.nastea, post: 9810696, member: 81895"]Hi dear Members, I've got today this brooch and I'm struggling to identify its age. Could it be 40s, or, maybe, later? I thought that closure looks like from 40s, but I don't understand why the pin is so long. Also, looks like central "stone" was replaced(?), as mount has a heart shape and stone is round, or it's normal? There are no marks, and metal was gold colour originally, however now it's a mix of gold and silver colours. Generally this brooch is a bit odd, it looks like it is mould made, but it is too imperfect for a mould production... maybe it was just a bad mould:smuggrin: As always, all opinions are highly appreciated! P.S.: and yes, a little bit of my hand... again)) [ATTACH=full]487883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487885[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487888[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
