[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 9773235, member: 78465"][ATTACH=full]482166[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]482165[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482163[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482164[/ATTACH] Ahhh, me and my addiction to weird/unusual things... This time I found a brooch online (came from France) I simply had to have because I didn't understand what exactly it is. It consists of low grade silver, paste stones and a sepia portrait that I believe is painted. I think it might be early 19th century, looking at its clasp and its construction. But then...what IS it? Looks like some weird combination of Saint Mary devotion (could be Spanish?) in combination with maybe some Halley s comet thing? Or is it just my imagination? (I really like Halley s Comet jewels).:) Could also just be two jewels that someone joined into this. But all this is just guessing. What do you make of this brooch?[/QUOTE]
