I can't really help with the history of this piece (since the picture is kind of unclear), but I may be able to help you get a rough time period on it.

There is a law commonly referred to as the "marking act" that requires all gold jewelry to be stamped with a karat mark and a trademark of the maker. This law came into effect in 1961 and was revised slightly in 1981. Since this piece has no stamp, I would recommend getting it tested by a jeweler. It is usually a simple electronic or acid test that is pretty inexpensive to obtain the actual Karat of the gold. If it is gold, then the piece was made before 1961, if it isn't gold, then it is probably just costume jewelry with no real value.

Hope this helps a little.
