This is a sterling silver brooch with inlays. The pin is gone in the back and it is not signed. I believe it is antique, not sure. I will get it repaired, it is very pretty.

The hinge is a tube hinge, which dates it to Victorian times. 1837-1901. The stones look like cabochon Agates. Really pretty.
The yellow stone may be Amber - hard to tell in a photo.
Victorian Scottish brooch. Agates, looks like a banded agate & cornelian in there - someone will be able to tell you all of them.
If you google Victorian Scottish Jewellery or similar combination you'll find lots of info. It was a very big fashion during Victorian times started by Victoria's visits to Balmoral Castle.
Love these Scottish agate pieces, this is really nice:-)
Nice, really nice, dito above friends comments!
Agates, and maybe some jasper. :-)
Thank you, everyone, it's interesting how you perceive an item one way and then you find out the truth. Thank you so much!

That's gorgeous! The green stone might be chrysophase.
