    I still have to get some photos of the backs of the other 2 I posted the other day. But here are 2 others I found. Anyway to figure out who made these? They are so pretty.

    The first half moon pin is clearly marked 10K with half pearls.
    Half moon pins were very popular at the turn of the 1900s.

    The other pin is probably also 10K and a small diamond. Not always marked.
    You should have a jeweler look at the stone.

    Oh it looks like the butterfly may have a small diamond as well.

    The construction of the second one is very unusual. What does it look like open? Can't recall ever seeing this before.

    Clasp & hinge on the first one agree with dating to the Edwardian period.

    Clasps are much later than the ages of the brooches, they're rollovers. I'll bet the second one is Middle Eastern. First one does look Edwardian but with a replacement clasp.

    Both look ca 1900-1910 to me, with replaced clasps. They are very pretty,

    I agree. Perhaps the clasps were replaced for safety reasons, so as to not lose the pin.

    Yes, happens all the time. That generally doesn't influence the value.
