I'm afraid I can't be of much help Anthony, but it is a well made badge for sure. Masonry perhaps?

Hi Luc,

Thanks for looking at this image.

I don't think it's masonic - they don't usual use crowns - but it's the crown that's throwing me ..... it's not a UK type of crown ...

hi anthony,

could the crown be danish or norwegian they have some really good jewellers over there.
this to me looks like the type of costume jewellery that you see on some of these afternoon antique shows.

I'd agree with the 'costume jewellery' guess. A very pretty thing indeed!
