Hi all, I'm brand new to the community, my apologies if this is the wrong forum.

I'm posting on behalf of my mother who is trying to ID this brooch she found belonging to her mother (aka my grandmother). We're trying to figure out where it's from and if it has any value beyond sentimental.

It's a peacock pin/brooch about 2-inches in size. There's an imprint of "14K" on the back, but no other jeweler marks. The inlay/enamel is a dark blue. Initially we thought it was from the 1920s-30s but starting to wonder if it dates to the '50s-'70s. The only other clue is she had some other items from Spain.

Any thoughts?
Many thanks in advance!
GH

This looks like Damascene jewelry from Spain. I don't know about the age of your piece, but it is beautiful!
Her is an example from the internet:

Oh my goodness, that's it!
I found its twin described as a "Damascene Enamel Vintage Brooch" and one that looks very similar.

Thank you so much!
