This beautyful brooch/pendant is hallmarked (and don't know which country) and tested for 14K. It has a C clasp and a round Amethist with in the center a little golden star with a tiny pearl. There are a few tassels and the round setting is beautyfull decorated as you can see on the pixs.
They told me the period of time was about 1900 do you agree? And can I call it Victorian or Edwardian? I have no idea can you help please?

   It looks Victorian, and I'd say it's a bit earlier than 1900, perhaps 1870-1890. Can't tell which country, would need to see the hallmarks.

   One should also remember the Victorian revival period in 1930s-1940s, when a lot of jewelry showed strong Victorian influence.

   Hello Davyd286,
   I don' t know the country of origin. But I placed a new last photo of the only hallmark there is on the C clasp. It is so tiny hardly to see what it is. I think it could be an eagle's head, what do you think? Awaiting your aswer !

   I can't see the mark, but if it looks like an eagle's head looking right, it could be French mark for 18K used after 1838. Mexico used a full eagle figure to mark their silver in the 20th century.

   Thanks, it will be a mystery as long as I also cannot decote for sure the hallmark very well and that is, till now, a fact.

   Looks really Victorian to me, say 1870.
