[QUOTE="KSW, post: 875737, member: 8708"]Bit of brooches through the ages. All three very different but I’d like to know your thoughts on dates please?. Please correct my amateur dating skills!. 1) Victorian? Very cheap base metal and filthy but I thought it would restore quite nicely. I’m thinking pearls around the edge- would that be likely? Or Amethyst glass?. Around 2 1/2 in. across. [ATTACH=full]198712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198713[/ATTACH] 2) Deco 1920/30? glass brooch. Sandwich effect of transparent glass in the centre and opaque outside. [ATTACH=full]198714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198715[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198716[/ATTACH] 3) This one slightly confuses me as elements seem very modern (the glass flowers are all in one not made up of several gems, the use of a sequin? as the centre of the flower..... then the diamanté, the style and the back make me think 70s?. Either way I love this piece for the way it reflects the blue colours that keep changing. I need to replace one gem but I think I’ll have to use a plain diamanté in the centre. [ATTACH=full]198717[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198718[/ATTACH] Thankyou for looking :-)[/QUOTE]
