    Blue glass stones and brass, another one from my "I dont know how old is this" series :) I would say 1930s, but I am not sure. Looks like some kind of revival to me. Czechoslovakia maybe? I would like to know your opinion on this - thank you in advance!

      Hi,

      This is a very useful article about dating brooches by their clasps.

      The metal might be gilt, something other than brass. It's quite shiny on the front. I don't know if it could be gold filled, but you don't mention finding any marks.

      Thank you, Gillian! I found no marks.
      As for the clasp type.. I think C-catch was used later as well, for cheaper jewelry - someone here said so...and this looks to be in too good condition to be an older piece. But I am no expert, and I am really not sure.
      Yep, the material is shiny... but it is thin and light in weight.

      As for the hinge, it looks 1930 to me according to the link

      Really beautiful !!! I'm no expert either, but 1930s was my gut feeling too :)
