This is a French-made brooch. The horizontal lines and the upturned corners of the lips give it a charming character, making it a lovely French item. It appears to be made of a material like acrylic, though I'm not certain. As it is made overseas, please understand that there may be some color variations. There is no box or packaging included from the original. The clasp works by inserting the pin and then rotating the ⚪︎ part to conceal the needle.
