[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 57211, member: 111"]On the bar pin, looks like art glass to me too, the construction reminds me of some mid 20th century pieces that were coming out of Mexico - Tono Cecilia is a name that comes to mind, but could certainly have been made elsewhere and/or earlier, or perhaps even an artisan piece. The seal is very mid 20th century, surprised it wasn't marked as sterling, and believe it's unlikely the stones are anything other than rhinestones...
