    Yesterday I bought this small brooch in one antique shop in Lewes. I think the stones are amber, not very sure about the metal. The seller couldn't tell me more about it. If somebody would know in which decade these brooches or tie pins were in fashion I would be grateful.

      Thank you Sean. Me too... My husband thinks it wasn't worth a fiver what I gave for it. But I think it's pretty because of the colour of the stones

      That is definitely worth a fiver! Looks like amber & silver to me, too. - Do you see any marks anywhere? Look on the pin hinges - sometimes marks are hidden there. Take it to a shop and have the metal acid tested, then you know for sure.

      Thanks Efesgirl. I intend to do exactly what you said - to acid test it. I can't see any marks.
