Help with id or descriptions of two old/antique brooches

I can find no marks on them. The both look to be Victorian era. One with seed pearls and one with a coral? rose. Gold filled or gold plated? Both have C hook clasp. Thank for any help on these!

Both Victorian. Gold filled but I would have them checked, sometimes that open back construction is gold Smiley Happy

 

The one with the flower is a watch pin. Beautiful!

Just wanted to comment that it's so interesting that this Victorian brooch has pyramid studs on it . I think of those as very modern . Guess they fall into the everything old is new again category .

I was thinking that too lol!  It is a pretty piece,  The rose is probably coral

 photo 0bd055e0-f76a-4f06-b6fc-f8dfa2c4abf8.jpgisn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit

In the photos ,both look to have been repaired with lead solder. and the "pearl"one seems to be missing a part.

I have a pair of Victorian earrings with pyramid studs. Got them in a repair lot for basically nothing and had them fixed. They turned out to be 18k Smiley Happy

I agree that  the pearl brooch could  be missing a part. Definitely looks like it's had a lead repair  in the front that has come apart.
