Featured Brooch with Roman Coins Possible D&E Bracelet

Hi,
I think the bracelet is D&E but haven't had time to see if it is in the verified files. The construction looks the same to me.
The brooch has 2 Roman coins - trying to figure out the age. I'm thinking early 1900s.
Any information appreciated.
thanks for looking.

 

interesting brooch !!!

 

thanks komokwa, I think so too!

 

I like them both.
I especially like Aurora Borealis.

 

thanks king!

 

For the brooch, is there a name for this style of brooch?

 

Etruscan style brooch. Popular in the late 1800s.

 

thanks af!

 

I thought the brooch catch looked a bit later, maybe 1930s onward?

 

It's a bit later, yes, UNLESS someone's put a new clasp on it. Rollovers are 20s or so.

Excellent link here on the subject: http://www.fancy4glass.ca/informati...antique-or-vintage-jewelry-clasp-or-hinge.htm

 

Thanks! That's great info!!!

 

The clasp is a repair, but the hinge is a style that went out with Victoria. My guess is the pin is 19th century and the coins...no clue. (my cat is typing too...arggh)

 

Good eye! I think you are spot-on.

 

great site, thanks bear.
Yes, good eye evelyb, thanks.

 

My gut tells me no on the bracelet, I expect D&E to be more over the top. Having all the uniform stones doesn't seem right to me. Check the verification site's tutorial on IDing D&E, I seem to remember something about when they used square metal tubing on clampers it was patterned? Anyway, check here:

Thanks for the link Marie! I've been looking but not finding this exact one, I might post this on the ebay jewel board.
For the clamper bracelets they only used square tubing, most commonly plain but embossed ones were also used (taken from this page).

I have been thinking and I think the square patterned tubing was used on clampers with the opening at the side instead of the middle. Sometimes details like that get a bit mixed up in my head
