    This looks antique but maybe it's not?

    The faded and torn silk liner on the inside makes me think old, but the outside looks so... Can't tell if the stitches are hand-done...

    Metal plate with (artificial?) blue stone on both sides. The underside of both plates is green patina, suggesting copper content?

    Anyway, I'm confused and would greatly appreciate anyone's help.

    The stitching you've featured looks machine-made to me, but that could be so for well over 100 years, I believe...

    The silk inside is shattered; that takes a decent amount of time, generally. I'd be surprised if this was less than 100 years old.
