[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 28383, member: 106"]OK ... Didn't get the book :( It was tres cool but there's no point in whining about it. The stones are real diamonds and he called them rose cut but he really doesn't come across them often at all and didn't know too much about them. He commented on all the work and reworking that the piece had done, saying "there's lead solder all over the place ... that's not good" .... and tried to test a spot where it would be inconspicuous where there was little or no solder ... but it looked to me that he was testing some of the body as well as some of the pin mechanism (I didn't want to tell him how to do his job ... he does this for me at no cost) ... he thought low karat gold and based on that, he thought cultured pearls. He also guessed 1920's as the age but said that he doesn't know much about dating jewelry and he thought that I should take it somewhere with more knowledge regarding antique jewelry. So there ya go ... sort of an answer.[/QUOTE]
