<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aureliel, post: 292292, member: 3623&quot;]I recently acquired this brooch but the style is unfamiliar to me. The c clasp and tube hinge (is that what it&#039;s called?) on the back seems to indicate it&#039;s old, but I&#039;ve not seen a brooch before with the stone sort of sitting on top of it like that rather than set into it. The stone seems to be an amethyst and there are no stamps or markings of any kind on the metal. It&#039;s very detailed, particularly the leaves shapes, which is what attracted me to it. Some of the smallest details were hard to catch with the camera. Measures about 2 inches wide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas what this style might be called, if it has a name, and what period it could belong to? I&#039;d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks so much for any insight you can offer!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]94746[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]94747[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
