<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9490877, member: 5398"]I'm late to this thread, but wanted to add that anytime you see earrings or pins/brooches with a metal back that is clipped to another metal disk it's typically inexpensive costume jewelry. You may still be able to buy the disks (one has holes for wiring beads to it) to make your own pins and earrings. Some vintage jewelry made this way can be more desirable/collectable than others depending on the beads used (fancy glass, faceted crystal, etc). Older pieces used brass disks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
