[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9678447, member: 2844"]A lovely piece, mirana.:happy: Her hairstyle is 1790s, and she is probably of the period. I think the case and bale are 20th century. Antique miniatures were often mounted in a jewel at a later date, and she looks very happy in it. They are not exactly crimped in. It looks more like a millegriffe setting to me. Millegriffe was popular in the Art Deco period, but of course it wasn't restricted to the 1920s-30s.[/QUOTE]
