What era are we looking at for this attachment style?

I've seen this exact style of closure (simple hinged pin; "C" clasp) on Victorian brooches and chatelaines.

It's victorian. Lets see the front.

Circa 1890 - ?

This type of jeweler's made pin was around on expensive jewelry for quite some time. It can be hard to date exactly because there were commercially made findings around before most jewelers stopped fabricating their own. Generally, the lack of locking ring on the "C" clasp usually makes it from well before the second world war.

Yes, I would agree it is a Victorian era catch. What does the front look like? Neat find, Breezie
