I found another brooch , only smaller , like this and it said Sterling. This one does not look like sterling & it is not marked as such . could this be rose gold? It is in excellant condition . There is another mark , but I cannot read it . Maybe you can. Thank you very much. And thank you for the help on my other brooch.

Another great find. It was common to have a gold overlay over silver with vintage jewelry. The markings on the back appear to be hallmarks, probably European. I can't tell if one of the marks is 800 which would indicate silver, but the hallmarks probably would tell you more with some online research. Sometimes the sterling mark 800 or 925 can be on the pin, but you need a good magnifying glass. Good luck with these pieces.

Thank you for that info. I will check it out. I actually bought these a long time ago , but never researched them . I have a large costume jewelry collection. I appreciate you taking the time to look at my pieces.
