    Another adorable find from my adorable grandma’s estate. Soaked it a couple of times, but it’s got a lot of years of tarnish/patina on there! No stamps or marks that I can see...

    Lovely and European. It is a pretty generic style which goes with many regional costumes.
    If it is Dutch there could be tiny marks on the side of the C-clasp. Feel the pin for tiny marks as well.

    I’ve been told the style is called “cannetille” - will take a close look for the marks you describe!

    Cannetille is the technique, with all those thin wires around tiny balls.
