<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2740586, member: 2844&quot;]The pin and safety catch are definitely replacements, that was the first thing I noticed. The other brooch has had the clasp replaced, and the hinge part that is soldered onto the body of the brooch. The hinge bar of the pin sticks out a bit on either side. It would have been set in two loops of the same width as the cross bar.</p><p>Old brooch pins and clasps were often replaced for safety, a pain when trying to date something. But in the case of the floral brooch it could have been a pendant turned into a brooch, as you thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
