[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4500500, member: 2844"]It is an older brooch / pendant, with that hinge. Those baby blue glass beads and that type crimped setting are often seen on Egyptian jewellery, but also in a few other countries. 1000 as a silver fineness is not used much. 1000 silver is usually from Japan or India. Maybe 1000 is a manufacturer's code. Egyptian silver is marked with an assay mark with the name of the town and the fineness in Arabic. There is usually a year letter as well.[/QUOTE]
