[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10305422, member: 79705"]I agree with [USER=36]@evelyb30[/USER] that this is older. I checked out the link and that seller says they didn't know when/who, just that they saw some OTHER unknown seller make that claim. I have a much earlier flower enamel brooch (1910s). If it's as the etsy link, a C-clasp and a tube hinge combo is not from the 50s but from around the early 1900s and earlier. Enamel brooches had a come back mid-century from Sweden, Norway, Demark and they have a very particular look. They're also always clearly marked with the country and often the maker name. Agreed with others your nugget may be gold. That was a thing with the nugget jewelries. I don't think your brass flower pin is a knock off of Cartier so much as big flower pins were en vogue and produced by many. It's very pretty.[/QUOTE]
