It's definitely not a love token. Brooch is french, one mark is for silver (i suppose it's boar's head) and another is maker's mark. Unfortunately, I can't read it.
Wow! Thank you so much, Bill! I've never heard about love tokens, so it can be love story that makes this brooch even more interesting :)
Thanks, Bill! The clasp looks like long c-clasp but it's probably broken trombone. And brooch has round hinge also.
Elisabethan, thank you for so detailed responce! Now I realized that glass cap can be opened :) Marking this mystery solved!
What is the length of the fan? Looks quite small.
This fan form is called "fontange" and it was popular in 1890-1910s (Art Nouveau).
Looks like chinese export fans from first half on 19th century :) http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/208536.html?mulR=1980192031%7C41
Agate1122303, thank you, I'll try to ask my mom if she remembers the age of this brooch.
TassieDevil, big thanks for comprehensive answer! Now I mark it solved :)

freiheit, nice brooch! Filigree ornament looks similar. Here is marked brooch on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/ru/listing/247066087/czech-crystal-filigree-brooch
There is the small market with vintage things near Alexander Nevsky cathedral in Sofia. I bought it there. May be it's later than 1930's, I'm not sure if the date on Etsy is right. Brooch at your ex...

Lovely thistles!
Lamplover78, I completely agree :)
Efesgirl, thank you for answer! Brooch through link looks quite similar but it seems to me that author isn't quite sure about letters.
