    Hello everyone.. 2 of many things I have and stumped on. Why pieces don't have marks is frustrating but any info appreciated.

    Hello. Be sure to click on "Full Image" when posting photos. Will put the pictures in the text box, easier to view.

    My thought is that the flower brooch is not old. Newer and done in a "vintage style". The rhinestones are glued in, that in itself doesn't necessarily mean newer, but I've seen very similar pieces like this out of China from the last 20 years or so.

    I think the cameo pin is 1970s plus or minus.

    But wait for others, too.

    Cameo is 1990s ish, they were sold with blouses. Other one probably 1970s.

    These cameos originated in W. Germany & seem to be the most reproduced design of all time. Suspect they are still being made. Widely exported, so appear often in jewellery that was not made in Germany.

    The flower one is pretty; if you like it and it goes cheap, buy it and wear it. I wouldn't bother with the cameo to be honest.
