[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9423652, member: 2844"]A pretty brooch and nice colour, but given the glued pin back it is unlikely the stone is real. It is probably glass. You're right, this isn't a Napier mark or design. The 1923 Napier A is enclosed by the triangle. It looks Austrian or Czech to me, but I am no specialist in costume jewellery. Tiger's eye and agate are two different stones. Tiger's eye has chatoyancy, gold stripes that seem to slide, disappear and appear again as you move the stone.[/QUOTE]
