[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10156269, member: 2844"]Ditto. A sweet pin, and it is perfectly OK to ditch the stopper. Maybe this helps: Gold- and silversmiths of the Georgian era made some very refined and perfectly executed jewellery.:) So did their colleagues in earlier periods. In general the difference depends on the person making the jewel, not the period. There can also be differences between rural and city/town jewellery, because there were more rich people in the cities who could pay for good craftsmanship, but that is not a solid given.[/QUOTE]
