    After my mother passed in March of this year, as the only daughter I inherited all of hers and her Mother's jewelry. There is a bit of fine jewelry, albeit, inexpensive fine jewelry but more fascinating is the large amount of costume jewelry. 90% of the costume jewelry belonged to my Grandmother.

    She was born in the early 1900's, so any amount of jewelry that would have been accumulated to my way of thinking/guessing from 1930's to 1970's (late). She died in the early 80's. She seemed to LOVE brooches, Canadian Maple leaves, etc. She also either was a fan of jewelry that looked like grapes or it was a fad at some point.

    This brooch is just one of many. It's very ornate and interesting. I'd love to know the time period it was from if anyone has a way to tell....
