[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 282569, member: 2844"]This is one for the costume joolies, they may know the mark. The pin places it well into the 20th century. Is there still a clasp? That would help date it, but my current guess is 1950s-60s. Knowing the mark helps to date it too. What look like replaced beads are actually worn faux pearls. When the outer layer has worn away, you see the core material of the beads. The one that looks like a pearl is probably the only replacement. The pretty portrait is a print, that is why you see those dots.[/QUOTE]
