Tie Tack?

Hey All,

I picked this up at a thrift store in a mixed box I just bought. Any info is appreciated. I’m not sure if it’s silver or what. Any idea on value is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

It's known as a bar pin. Looks gold colored in your photos. Look on top of the clasp where pin hooks as there may be a mark there. I two made of gold. They were popular from the later 19c to the early 20c

The small stones are rhinestones. The green “stone” is most likely glass.
