<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 708496, member: 5833"]I have no hesitation in declaring the little face as genuine coral, within the range that most people would consider 'angel skin'. Like 'black stuff', it is very hard to know much about metals from photos alone. Don't think pinchbeck, which usually does a better job of staying gold colored. Whatever it is, even if gold washed silver, that part does not have much value on its own. Later than Victorian, going by hinge & clasp, but still vintage. I love the little coral element; cleaned up she'll be a gem. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
