[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9694520, member: 2844"]That's alright then.:playful: I think it is ca 1900. The hinged bail is probably original. If it had been a pin hinge, the hinge would be in the wrong place because it should go sideways. It is incomplete, but yes, it is a good read. If they mention the Peranakans of Indian origin, they might as well mention the other groups (Dutch Peranakan, Portuguese P.) as well. I would have limited the story to the Peranakan Chinese. And it would have been nice to see a mention of the origin of kebaya pins in general, they are originally Javanese. But this specific style is Peranakan. Yours is a more humble version of the one that sold at Sotheby’s in 2008 for 68,750 HKD ( 7,341 EUR), only that one is round. Even without the diamonds, and not gold but gold plated, yours should still do well. It isn't something you come across regularly here in Europe. There are more in Singapore and surrounding areas. It didn't want to be associated with the riff raff.:hilarious:[/QUOTE]
