[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 675335, member: 2844"]It is a Victorian(?) unmarked gold brooch, made like Raj period tiger trophy jewellery. The tiger claws or teeth are actually a one piece glass replica. Obviously made for those who couldn't afford the real deal, but could afford a little gold. The gold tests as ca 9k. I found a similar style one on Etsy, but that one had two separate glass pieces, set in brass, and no useful information. My question is, does anyone have any idea when this style tiger trophy jewellery was made? Victorian is such a long period, can anyone narrow it down? The hinge could be 1890s, so my guess is after 1890. And would this have been made in the UK or in India, Malaysia, etc? It is about 5 cm wide. The pin has a slight bend in the middle. The 'horns' are slightly irregular in length and curve. The dangle is teardrop shaped. Thank you for looking.:) [ATTACH=full]185517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185516[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
