<p>[QUOTE="B.Stirling, post: 10304840, member: 91596"]Now that I've found an antiquing forum, it occurs to me I can maybe find out a little something about some jewellery I've had for a while. A couple are brooches(likely costume jewellery) from my grandmother, and one is what I am guessing is a bolo tie clasp from my grandpa.</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12459]Enamel Pin by B.Stirling posted Mar 23, 2025 at 7:02 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>Identified as potentially a piece by Ivar T. Holth of Norway; possibly 1950s Etsy link posted down in the replies. Big thanks to Debora. I looked over my pin and the images in the link and although mine is lighter(and slightly damaged), almost everything else is identical.</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12458]Brass Fower Pin by B.Stirling posted Mar 23, 2025 at 7:02 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>Lovely costume piece, and by accident roaming through these threads I discovered it's probably an attempt at a Cartier knock off(looks an awful lot like a lucky score another member found). Definitely no markings though, and looks like it's brass because there's some green tarnish on the back.</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12456]Bolo tie clasp front by B.Stirling posted Mar 23, 2025 at 7:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 12457]Bolo tie clasp back by B.Stirling posted Mar 23, 2025 at 7:02 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>I am guessing this is a bolo tie clasp, looks an awful lot like one. I'm just curious about the green stone. (I'm not thinking that's a gold chip though, since I don't see any indicator of it being real).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
