    Marcasite brooch w/3 different gemstone flowers (not sure if gemstones are real?).
    1.5" tall x 1.5" at widest part. It appears it can be worn as either a brooch or on a necklace, based on the loop at top of pin in the back. It doesn't look like it was added later, but could have been.
    I can't see any markings on the back.
    Anyone have a clue how old it could be?

      Thank you, Ms.Crystalship! I had a hunch it was one of my grandmother's, which would make sense if the era you think it's from is right.
      I will tag it to fine jewelry as you suggested!
