This type of brooch is also referred to as a "pearl enhancer" because of the special fitting which allows the enhancer/brooch to attach seamlessly to 5-7mm pearls (or any smooth 5-7mm bead). When not used as an enhancer, it may be worn as an elegant brooch/pin. Pin finding has a traditional safety clasp.
The diamonds are all guaranteed as genuine...

Produced by the Providence Rhode Island Stock Company in the 1940's (possibly the mid 1930's).

Measurements: PURSE 6" x 5 1/4" x approximately 1" wide CHAIN HANDLE: 14"
Although there are no markings on either the silk lining or the brass bag frame, I believe the purse to be of French origin c.1915. However, the embroidery may be Oriental.
At first glance, the purse appears to be beaded as well as embroidered. In fact the "beading" is actually tightly curled thick pink thread...
