    Another unknown to me. These two pieces were also in the bottom of the box bought at auction over 30 years ago, along with the (what I found out,) yesterday posting here was a Dragon's Breath Opal necklace. I think the brooch is a Abalone Mother of Pearl. It is marked Sterling on the back with a pin clasp. C, maybe, or a barrel. Looks like her neck might have been cracked too? The other piece, I have no clue. It's about the size of a dime. And, it's sitting sideways here! The middle stone is on a little tiny cut butterfly. Surrounded by other stones, which one is missing. It's a pin with one of those push type fasteners. Maybe a lapel pin or a tie pin? Only markings on it that I can see and can't is some Pat. mark with numbers on the fastener. And, I have no idea what it is made of. Looks like diamonds, but I wouldn't hold my breath! ;-) Any ideas? All welcomed. :-)

      The mother-of pearls and abalone cameo is probably Italian, a tourist souvenir. Can't comment on the age of either one without seeing the back.
