<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 311161, member: 2844&quot;]Gorgeous bar brooch, evely. There is an Art Deco influence in the design, and those two seed pearls are perfectly placed.</p><p>I always love the subtlety of bar brooches, buy them, and never wear them because they are too subtle.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Yes, it does look like silver and gold to me too. Pity it isn&#039;t marked, but I think the fineness of the silver could be 900 or higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even better if we could &#039;pin&#039; the hinge down.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> That type of hinge is 1930s and later. In this case I think the pin is ca 1940.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can find old-style clasps on brooches from Russia, just like you can on brooches from the Middle East and parts of the Mediterranean. Those brooches will often be more recent than the clasp suggests, and the other elements like style, hinge, manufacturing technique will help to date them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
