That's rather neat but they're still being made today to essentially the same designs, inset with turquoise, coral and other gemmy materials.

Yours looks to be vintage but a view of the type of pin attachment on the back might help narrow down the date. I would expect it to be marked somewhere. Anything you can see?

It looks to be from the 1970’s. Just a guess but the pin is one I’ve purchased before when I was making silver jewelry back in the mid 70’s.
