[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4538675, member: 2844"]Beautiful set, drg.:happy: Not King Tut, but a random Egyptian Pharaoh.;) I agree with your thinking that this set is older than the discovery of King Tut's tomb, and place it ca 1900. So after the introduction of screwback earrings ca 1890. Still very much a 19th century face and Egyptian Revival style enamel. I think the numbers are a manufacturers code, which part goes where. It looks goldplated, there seems to be silvery shimmer in the gilding(?) on the pendant, just above the head.[/QUOTE]
