<p>[QUOTE="Susan Lucky, post: 216070, member: 4112"]Hello to all you wise and wonderful lovers of old (people as well as "stuff")</p><p>My second posting, and this is a piece that my grandmother brought with her from Italy, 1892. She lived in Bologna, as did her family for centuries! We know nothing more than the fact that she carried it across the ocean. I have googled Etruscan, and found many silver pieces that look very similar, but also pieces from other parts of the world. When I look up very very close, the workmanship looks more Italian. More finished. But I am here to get input and possible ID. Top Question, what is the stone? I have included very close up pics of the stones to aid in ID. The piece is over 32 inches in total at the longest piece so I did one photo to try to show it off. NOT easy as the size is challenging. I can take more photos if anyone needs. Thank you in advance for any help or comments you can offer.[ATTACH=full]63718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]63719[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]63720[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]63721[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]63722[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]63723[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
