Does anyone have any insight into this antique rooster pin?

Hello everyone-

I inherited this antique rooster pin. I took it to an appraiser who said that the diamond and sapphires are all natural, and most of the rubies are as well. The metal is sterling silver. Unfortunately, a past owner replaced the pin fastener on the back and there aren't any makers marks or other information anymore on the piece. He suggested that I crowd-source anyone's insight into this piece.

Thank you for your time and attention, and if you have any questions, please ask.

There’s an Instagram called Erica weiner and she’s can usually help figure out some age and info.

If you want to learn as much about its history as possible, I would recommend sending it to someone like Jewelry Nerd on IG. She can test all the gems and research similar examples to give a better idea of when and where it was made.

I doubt you’re going to get much from crowd sourcing beyond “Yeah it looks antique, maybe whatever period or other.”
