<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 4128252, member: 51&quot;]Agree, usually an appraiser will have more info about dating and value.&nbsp; The appraiser asked you to &quot;crowd source&quot; info?</p><p><br /></p><p>Better photos (as mentioned) would be a help here.&nbsp; This looks brown in color from the photos, not sterling at first glance, but could be coated unless the photo is showing a false color.&nbsp;&nbsp; A little confused that the appraiser told you that &quot;most&quot; of the rubies are natural--so some are not?&nbsp; You&#039;d think the pin would all have the same stones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say this -- if the appraiser is correct that this has natural rubies and diamonds, you should continue to research it, and understand this piece has some good value.&nbsp; The clasp looks positively replaced, so could be there was maker&#039;s info on the original clasp now missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if this qualifies as an antique, though.&nbsp; Will await better photos, but would<i> guess </i>maybe 1960s-70s, from the design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
