<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 397506, member: 5833"]If OP is correct that it is a loop soldered closed, & not a hook that has been bent in, anything that attached would have to have a hook. There are detachable guard chains, & lots of old brooches have a place to attach one, but no reason to design the back this way to provide an attachment point for a little out of sight chain. I really was expecting it to be a hook, that you would put the loop of some pendant object, decorative or functional, through the round part of the opening, then slide it down onto the hook.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
