<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 480002, member: 5833&quot;]Hello, Torkel.&nbsp; I saw this in the silver forum too, but thought others would come along with more general knowledge about antique jewellery than I have.&nbsp; My thoughts are that it quite probably is silver (front may be while back may not be), but without a mark only testing will tell for sure.&nbsp; The British have been sticklers for marking silver and maintaining sterling as the standard for a very long time.&nbsp; If this were English, think it would be marked, liberally.&nbsp; The style of the hinge is different than those I see on the cameo brooches I buy, which are usually English, American, French or Italian.&nbsp; The button-like design is also different from the styles that were popular among English ladies of the Victorian era, which is the time period I would assign your brooch to.&nbsp; It looks very strongly built.&nbsp; Hope someone with a knowledge of Scandinavian and the Germanic countries will give an opinion.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
