Need advice from jewelry aficionados. There are no markings on this pin. It looks like painted metal – is there a term for this style?
I’m not sure what category to list it under since I don’t know what era it might be from. Any ideas?

From the back picture it appears your brooch is made of tin or a very thin metal. It should be very light weight and looks to be from around the 70’s.
The flowers appear to be enameled. Very pretty.

I really love to meet new people and possibly start some kind of relationship with them, but all this is not long-term. I always dreamed of finding my true love and stop looking for someone I’m sad!

If you want to find a girl, but not everything works out in real life, I advise you to visit the website.

Have you got an answer to your question? It is interesting to learn about the outcome. I used to date a jeweler on a dating site [URL removed] So if you still need help, I may ask him for a consultation. We split long ago, but we keep communicating from time to time.
