<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 9504945, member: 78949&quot;]Hi folks,</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking about hand making of jewellery pieces and its relation to the material, and would like your opinion on this - is it normal to have real filigree made of non precious metal? Thanks to the discussion here and Any&#039;s guidance now I know that most of the brass pieces listed online as &quot;filigree&quot; are actually not filigree but are cast metal - open work or ajour. But I recently came across a brass filigree bow brooch and IMO, it is a real filigree. If so, it seems strange to me that someone was putting that much labour into a non precious metal piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>It must be after 1950s as the stones are AB, and most probably Czech. One of the AB stones is a replacement as it is smaller than the prong bed. Any thoughts on it are mostly welcome! Thank you!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]449951[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449952[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449954[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
