[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3155777, member: 2844"]Victorian depends on where it is from. Pin hinges and clasps are often used for dating, but that can be difficult when a brooch was made outside the cultural area the usual dating is based on. Did you buy it in Mexico? The style of the filigree looks like it could be Mexican, in which case it could be as late as the 1920s. I suspect Mexico has its own period terminology, but you would know more about that.:) Victoria never ruled over Mexico.;) Etruscan Revival is characterised by fine granules and wires applied to surfaces. If a piece is open filigree only, like this cutie, it is not Etruscan Revival. This is an example of the Etruscan Revival style: [IMG]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0039/6581/2845/products/etrusbrclt10187_1024x1024.jpg?v=1561669945[/IMG] [URL]https://eriebasin.com/products/1880s-etruscan-revival-bracelet-2[/URL][/QUOTE]
