[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1924156, member: 2844"]Welcome, Chanelle. Your brooch is more than vintage, the hinge and clasp are 19th century.:) The bail at the top looks like it was added later, but it is always nice to have the pendant option. The tiny loop at the bottom used to have a small chain with tiny pin attached, a safety measure before the invention of safety clasps. Our cameo expert Bronwen has been tagged, she will tell you more.[/QUOTE]
