Not sure if the flower like stamping on back of this brooch tells me anything about the age or who designed this.

What indicated to you that it was late 50s - early 60s?
Anna,
The materials, style and design were all clues to dating the piece. There's a lot to learn about vintage jewelry and vintage costume jewelry. If the topic interests you, I recommend you visit your library and take out a few books on the subject. Or visit a bookstore and invest in a few basic books on the topic. I started collecting vintage costume jewelry awhile ago and have a large library that I refer to.
I presented a five-part workshop on vintage costume jewelry for the VFG in 2010. Here's a link to the part on the '50's and '60's:
