[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 800091, member: 2844"]It is a Russian Finift brooch, made in Rostov. The handpainted porcelain plaque is set in silver. They still make Finift jewellery but my guess would be 1960s. Russians often use C-clasps on handcrafted jewellery, also on lacquer brooches. I don't know which grey part you mean, Tricia. There is the silver, which turns grey, and there is the back of the plaque, which looks mottled blueish on my screen.:)[/QUOTE]
