    Peek-a-Boo
    (1 item)

    This brooch is unmarked. I have seen a couple of antique brooches from the 1950's and 1960's with that little dimple at the top just above the pin piece in the back. I wonder is that a maker's mark or is that due to how the item was crafted?

      Hi, Welcome to CW. The circle you see is a rivet like piece that is actually part of the pin mechanism and is the way the pin was attached to the rhinestones. Nicely prong set stones. Lovely to have a treasure from your Grandmother.
