<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 2780732, member: 8708&quot;]This little brooch (1 inch square) is a bit of a conundrum to me. </p><p>The style looks fairly modern but the pin and hinge look old. Weird domed stone. </p><p>Mary Contrary flatly refuses to test the gem so no clues there. Looks a bit like labradorite but no blue flash or that opaline glass but no bubbles and it doesn’t look uniform enough to be glass but WDIK. MC is usually very good at detecting glass but she’s not playing nicely atm. A bit scratched and about to get a bath tomorrow to remove the old glue and gunk. </p><p>Looks a bit like a star/planet theme so could it be MCM? (Trying to sound like I have any idea of what I’m talking about!). But that C clasp.....?</p><p>There is a minuscule hallmark&nbsp; by the open part of the C clasp but unreadable at the moment - I’ll give it a good scrub and see if I can make it better. Possibly the C is over the rest of the hallmark but surely that would be a bit odd even if a replacement?</p><p>Any ideas please? Thanks for looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]279993[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279994[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279995[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279997[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279998[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
