[QUOTE="KSW, post: 9692028, member: 8708"]Amazing what comes out of a bag of modern costume tat! This is c2” top to bottom and the gems test as quartz. The pendant loop is silver and looks to be a later addition. I suspect it started life as a brooch and someone cleverly used the hinge to attach a loop! There is a remnant of a clasp at the bottom. The main body tests as base metal. The back has a brassy coloured wash, the front is more silvery. The flash yellows the front more than it is. The gems are all embedded by some fairly rough metal. Any ideas as to age and origin please? Thankyou all :-) [ATTACH=full]470989[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]470990[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]470991[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]470992[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]470993[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
