[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4481107, member: 2844"]On behalf of the entire jewellery collecting community, I applaud your whisking. From now on you shall be known to us as Whisky K.:happy::kiss: Or Austrian (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).:D It looks like it could be a late or post- Austro-Hungarian Renaissance Revival pendant. The turquoises are likely European ones, probably from Romania. As you said, it is missing a dangle, probably silver, but a pearl replacement will look good too. A teardrop shape if you can find one, not too small. The bow is a silver stylisation of the silk bows from which precious pendants used to hang in the Renaissance and Baroque period.[/QUOTE]
