<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barn Owl, post: 624938, member: 4864&quot;]I love the look of Ethnic jewelry, but I can never tell whether what I buy is modern imports or has some age to it. I picked up these three pieces today from three different sellers. 7 for the bracelet, 6 for the belt (or perhaps is it meant to be draped over a dress collar?), 1.75 for the enameled pendant. I looked at the red stone on the bracelet under a loupe, and I think it might be coral. The hinged bracelet has a 2 scratched on the inner side of both parts, but I think that&#039;s just so they know to connect the right pairs. As for the pendant, I&#039;ve seen similar shapes on Balkan belt buckles, but I have no clue at all where it&#039;s from... I would love some ideas/thoughts, or just some suggestions on how I can identify the providence/value of ethnic jewelry in the future, before putting my money down. Is there a way to tell if something is a modern import piece?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]181670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181672[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181673[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181674[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
