<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4398042, member: 2844&quot;]That specific model safety clasp was introduced ca 1930, and widely used a few years later. So it is always going to be post 1930.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Given the &#039;novelty&#039; aspect of the crochet/needlework inspiration, my guess is still post war, so late 40s-early 50s. That clasp was still used at the time, as was the hinge.</p><p>&#039;Novelty&#039; costume jewellery was very big in North America during that period, much more so than in Europe, hence my guesstimate of US. It was never a thing in Asia. Nothing about this brooch says India to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
