Old brooch or wishfull thinking?

Anyone recognize this brooch style? Silver tone art deco filigree? No marks that I can see.  I 'm thinking it's modern/newer with a antique look?  All information/direction is

appreciated.  IMG_8770.JPGIMG_8780.JPGIMG_8787.JPG

It's hard to see in the picture , but I think the pin back has a newer swivel closure vs. the older  " C "  clasp , or even the first editions of the swivel .  Can you take a close up of the pin closure ?

Also the texture on the back makes me think 70's - 80's , but let's see what the other Joolies think .

I agree this is a modern cast reproduction on a 20th Century (possibly Edwardian) Filigree piece.

Thank you all for taking time from the football games to respond!  I thought it newer but needed your expert opinions before I let it go.  Milkshakes for all!

My camera skills aren't very good, no matter how hard I try.  The swivel closure is not like the open C clasp's on some of my for sure older pieces.  This one completely loops and closes inside the ring.

Kinda reminds me of items from the 1928 Jewelry Company. I don`t know what the newer ones look like on the back, however

Wish I could remember where I got it, Kohls clearance maybe, thrift store, I don't know. I found a couple of similar styled brooches listed that are identified as 1928 Jewelry. Their jewelry seems a bit more defined and better made then this piece or maybe it's the poor quality of my picture.  I will look at it again but I feel safe saying it is a modern piece made to look old. The back side is just too "silvery" to be old.  Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.

My money's on Kohl's or similar; I'm not seeing any age on it. It's not 1928; the back texture is all wrong.

I've put it on slow mode so I can list my better stuff.  Looks like my light has been turned on and I have lookers and bidders!  Oh happy day.  Got to keep busy before I go dark again. Smiley LOL I really appreciate your input.

Don't know if this will help or not,,,but another company named "Sweet Romance" is doing a lot of the older styles.....some of their brooches have a "similiar" texture. Maybe worth checking out??? Good luck with your piece,,,I have lotsa stuff in "slow mode"  too:)

You can't fix crazy but you sure can document it.

FYI - your green Avon lariat necklace is one of the pieces D & E Juliana made for Avon.  You may want to indicte this in your listing and/or title, as it is a popular piece.
