[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 178455, member: 784"] Lovely piece Condor, my guess would be pre war 1900 -1912ish and a stab at the original owner would be that it was crafted to fasten the shawl or cloak of an irish born lady from a prosperous wool or shipping family. The last part is speculation based on turn of the 20th century industry in australia, possibly she was of irish decent hence the emerald set clovers. I count 5 rubies and 5 emeralds btw. Id take it to a reputable antiques valuer if you wanted it appraised, but im guessing the sentimental value to your family would outweigh that. Cheers, TGW [/QUOTE]
