[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 1071595, member: 5006"]Hi joolies! My last gift to myself:joyful: Found on French Ebay, a pair of huge cuffs, each set with an oval carnelian, similar to the one with an oval lapis I kyratised with tin foil! One depicting squirrels/dormouses eating grapes among flowers and leaves, The other depicting two affronted dragons among clouds. No hallmarks nor inscription except one bearing a stamped G in a rectangle. 7cm or 2.75" large by 4cm or 1.5" front width. Heavy as hell at 178g the pair, which leads me to think only the ornate part is silver (the frame has to be stiff and sturdy, and silver plated is more appropriate). 120€ for the pair, a bargain for me! (No thrift stores here and car boot sales are miserable:facepalm:)[ATTACH=full]209606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]209607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]209608[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
