[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 537476, member: 2844"]With any piece of jewellery you have to look at the entire piece.:) The clasp stories are written for people who buy 'mainstream' 19th century brooches and want to know if their brooch is ca 1860 or ca 1890. Since most of the writers live in the US, the dating is based on US patents etc. European made brooches can differ slightly in date from US ones, as can other European made jewellery. (You wouldn't believe how many times I wrote brioche instead of brooch. :facepalm:)[/QUOTE]
