    Hi,
    I see a bunch of different ones listed as various things. Not sure on anything about this. Any guesses on age, origin, etc? Do the leaves represent anything in particular? What was this used for?
    Thank you

    The main brooch has grape leaves/grape vine. The secondary brooch looks like ivy. Then there's what looks like an acorn at the bottom of the pendant hanging from the main piece. These plants have associations in the world of mythology, but doubt the designer of this item had any of that in mind.

    Agree with identification of age above. And that of leaves. Both used in Victorian jewelry; suspect designer's intent was to reference the antique.

    If this were pinned on, would the chain attached to the large side hang in front of the pendant?

    BTW, this link style is called belcher.

    The leaves had me confused as to why there were different types. Ok, made to look older than it is. I knew the pin clasp didn’t look as old as it should have. Thank you
