[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9730138, member: 2844"]A lot of 18th century jewellery was made with great precision.;) Fakes are usually sloppy, to make them look 'antique'. Although black dot paste was hugely popular, marcasites were also used in the 18th century. And if the green stones are chrysolites/peridots, they are more likely to be combined with marcasites than with black dot paste.[/QUOTE]
