Here is a beautiful piece of costume. Very intricate, and looks quite well made. Def. not junk, but that is all I know about it. I know there are some costume geniuses amongst us. Maybe someone will recognize the work. Thanks for looking!
This is really pretty... The design is done to look Victorian, but the clasp is modern... It does look very well done, which then leads me to believe it's not a made in China type of thing... I love it. It reminds me of R. Mandle brooches... But I thought those were typically signed.

It may be signed, I just can't make it out yet. Do you have a image of the R. Mandle signature?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I find it very difficult to make out signatures and markings on costume. Maybe I just don't have that much experience.
BH... This is my all time favorite site to research costume jewelry signature. I spend a lot of time paging thru to learn....
