Featured Art Nouveau brooch. Silver?

I don't really know much about this. What do you think, is this silver? How much could this cost? There are no signs or marks.

 

A sweet brooch, that has been produced and reproduced a lot in several metals. Yours is period, imo.
It would help us to see the material if you polished it a bit, but I think it could be silver.

What about the tiny indentation on the hook clasp? Silver marks can be tiny.

 

The repros are not as well done. I"ve had both kinds. Definitely polish it to see if it's sterling. It won't hurt this piece to make it bright and shiny.

 

Better look from the back:


Doesn’t look like silver

 

Are you sure? The pin looks like copper. In some countries silver brooches occasionally had base metal pins. For instance in the Netherlands, but not only there.
Have you looked at the indentation on the clasp?

 

No marks here?

 

I think this is the mark!! I will put it in my ultrasonic cleaner and polish now

This one, like yours, appears to have the inner areas cut away, rather than cast as such.https://www.rubylane.com/item/50198...oman/Antique-Art-Nouveau-Gibson-Girl-Sterling

 

The repro ones are usually pressed out, yours is much nicer quality. Period and silver I’d think.

 

There is no way to positively ID silver from a photo, you need to take it to be tested.

 

It seems to have text in it

With a good magnifying glass, or using the photo function on your phone, zooming in to max., I think you should be able to see if it's indeed text

Here's one on Etsy
