<p>[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 322540, member: 63"]Hi,</p><p>I picked this up today thinking (and hoping) it was gold, so I very happy to find the 9C mark when I got a chance to have a look at it. I'm not sure what the centre piece is, maybe amethyst, maybe glass, with seed pearls around the edge? The amethyst/glass is facet cut, with the flat part on top and hard to show but it is pointed on the underside. I'll have to go by the pawn shop and see if they can tell me what the stone is.</p><p>Would this be late 1800s-early 1900s time period?
