<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 472017, member: 2844&quot;]A tiny clue as to 1873 or 1890, if you don&#039;t have those wonderful British date marks to help you, is the moon and star pattern around the edge.</p><p>Although not necessarily restricted to one single period, moons and stars were all over ca 1890 jewellery. So if you see that on a jewel while it is totally unrelated to the central theme, in this case horse riding, think ca 1890.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another one is the hinge. This looks like the original hinge and clasp. An 1870s brooch would have a wide tube hinge. These more compact hinges were introduced just before 1890. They became even more compact after that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
