[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 207071, member: 106"]This was one of my rare GW jewelry finds - not saying that the pin is rare, but finding decent jewelry at this particular GW certainly is. The pearls looked real and are what drew me to it ... when I flipped it over, I noticed the opening on the side that reminded me of a box clasp (like what one would see on a strand of pearls) ... then I saw the 14K. SOLD! Do you think this was actually a clasp which was given a new life as a stick pin or could it have been made like this originally? Does anyone else think that the holes in the back were cut/sawed by hand - as opposed to some mass-produced stamped out finding?
