It's been quite a few years ago that I bought this dress/fur clip in visiting one of my first flea markets. It is a bunch of grapes made from false pearls beige colored. The beautifully styled two leaves are probably of yellow copper/brass. It's very nice to use on a jacket or vest. And though it's not of precious metal I still think it's nice.
I can detect no hallmarks. Has anyone of you an idea when this clip might be made??

miKKoChristmas11 thanks!
Your clip was probably made around 1940s. It's interesting how they attached the faux pearls - they look "dipped". That technique with some research could provide a clue to the age or the maker.
davyd286 thanks for your interesting suggestion. And yes if I look good it's like the pearls are dipped in some pearl liquid. Can you tell more about that technique or the maker? Thanks in advance!
I don't have any info on that, sorry, but if I find anything, I'll let you know.
Davyd268 thans anyway for your interest and support,
