[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1536840, member: 2844"]It is a lovely ca 1900 brooch, banded agate as the others said. It looks like there could be a small mark (fineness, assay, maker) on the C-clasp. Someone has been messing with the hinge, the two flaps sticking out should be straight, parallel to each other. You can bend them back gently using small pliers, make sure you cover the silver with a cloth so it doesn't get scratched.[/QUOTE]
