Ive had this pin now for awhile and kinda wondered about it maker ,year, etc.? So I recently got Carole Tanebaums Fabulus Fakes and noticed the Czech Jewelry in her book and thought it kinda resembles my pin. There are no markings and the metal used is pretty dark Im not sure if the pictures really get the color of metal right but my last posting of this was to blurry for CW and got deleted so hopefully this is ok. Stones are very Rainbow hued and there is alot of detail. What do you guys think? Would love to hear any info on it!

Greetings from Philadelphia. Pins are favs of mine, too. This looks pretty.
Difficult to determine but looks like there is also some enameling on the piece? Is that so? Simple backgrounds in natural light make for the best photos in my experience. If you are using a digital camera, check your menu and select Close Up or Portrait. Those selections have worked well for me.
