I had to buy this when I saw it. I believe I will have recouped my money on this piece 5-6 times over what I paid for it.
Thanks for looking

Great find. I believe the stones to be jade or jadeite. Kind of hard to tell with some pictures you never get the real color of a stone due to lighting. Tiffany is known for their work in jade. Seems to be a more recent piece considering how the name is written. Are you going to take it to a jeweler and authenticate it? Beautiful piece.

I did take to a well known local dealer in vintage jewelry. He said it is most likely from early 1900 to 1910. He also put a value of $1200 to 2000 depending on the auction and market.

Well then you should be super happy, the way the name is stamped onto the metal had me thinking its more recent than early 1900s since they would use a logo in place of their full name on smaller items but maybe since they had a larger area to do so they did the full name. Either way you did well, do you plan on selling it?

I am. I hope to get around the 1000 range.
