<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 10259529, member: 2844&quot;]Typical plated photo brooch from the early 20th century. When photography became widely accessible, a cheap version of the age old miniature portraits also became widely accessible. </p><p>German jewellery factories started the trend, and nearly all of these brooches are indeed German.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you should look in Greek philosophical circles.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie76" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The diamond shape suggests a French maker, but it could just as easily be German, since nearly all are. Don&#039;t worry if you can&#039;t find the maker. Given the multitude of these brooches, knowing the maker won&#039;t add to the value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
