[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1723320, member: 2844"]Lovely brooch, anund, the coral is perfectly accentuated by the gold. And used a lot in Russia, which is usually the first place I look for an origin with those curly C-clasps. They also used that tube hinge a bit longer than most other countries, so early 1900s sounds right. In those days many Russian jewellery makers were still of German descent (they were kicked out later), and the design is related to late German Jugendstil, imo.[/QUOTE]
