[QUOTE="Curioser, post: 10612854, member: 13823"]This sterling silver brooch is marked as such along with what looks like "W. J. & S..." so I'm guessing sons? I first though the style was Arts & Crafts and I thought English but then without hallmarks I was uncertain. However, I have seen some English and Scottish antique pieces of sterling jewelry that are only marked with sterling and maker ID. The stone is purple glass. The curved wire on the side looks like a sword hilt, especially with the looped "guard" on the other side. Length is 3 1/2", end is quite sharp and clasp is a simple C. Pin stem is different color, will test to see if it's silver or not. Any ideas on age, style , maker or country of origin? Thanks for your thoughts!
