    Another of my rescued scraps of jewellery!. I don't know what it was originally as it doesn't seem to have a brooch back broken off.
    Before I set sail cleaning it any ideas on dating it or where it came from?
    Thankyou. :)

    Some sort of chatelaine ornament? I'd rather see it clean.

    Can't shake the feeling that I've seen these, or similar, dangling from a brooch, but a very quick search and run through my books that are handy, doesn't turn it up...

    I think Bohemian, Jablonec. I'd vinegar that.

    I'd think the same, maybe late 19th century into the early 20th...

    Agreed. I'm wondering if it came from a handbag.

    @Ownedbybear - Glad to see you were finally able to get your kitty's photo back up. All this time I thought he was peeking over something, but now know he is looking back over his shoulder. He really was very handsome!! :happy::happy:

    Though not made the same, shows the use of the cherry motif on jewelry in 1890: (from Jargstorf's 'Baubles, Buttons and Beads: The Heritage of Bohemia'):
