    My mother's Uncle born In Sweden 1880s, was active in this country, going around the world many times..He passed in the 1950s, and some of his things went to my mom. His wife was an "Eastern Star"-- This big pin has never been identified--and I looked on the net and I don't see this likeness and structured stones pattern either on any jewelry. Any clues I am missing--I think the moon has a significance. That's all. No missing stones, all full of fire after so many years-- back looks gold, no mark, excplt a small, teeny one, worn and I can't see it even under strong magnification.
    It's missing fastening pin across the back, is it worth having fixed?

    Added just now:I magnified the second photo twice and see the "Mark" I could not see is a small perfect raised circle.

      You should take it to a jeweler and have it tested to see if it is gold or something else. The back should also be cleaned, just in case there are any hidden marks.

      OK--Next time I go to the mall, there are jewelers there who will do it. I just don't hope they get a good laugh at my expense. I don't wear jewelry and am in a strange worlds talking about it.-- My wedding rings were worn when I was married of course--and today my moonstone & peridot deco number is usually in place. Because I love looking at it. Thanks for the suggestion--HEY! What if it's diamonds...

      So pretty.
      I'd like it for a coat pin.
