<p>[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 10687550, member: 15376"]Gorgeous pieces! I'm no expert, but I'd be happy to say the brooch was Georgian if it was mine. The buckle also looks that old in its setting, but I think the cut of the stones wasn't done until the 3rd quarter of the 19th century? The prong setting wasn't popularized until the 1880s, so it would still have your sort of setting if dated to later on in the century. Just my two cents but I defer to an expert![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
