<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 216790, member: 2844&quot;]Maybe the necklace was a treasured piece, given to your great-grandmother for her to sell if she ever needed to. Just think of the culture shock it must have been for her, and how anxious those left behind would have been about her well-being in that faraway place. And maybe she would rather have gone without food for a day, than sell something that reminded her of home and was given with such love. Migration in those days was a huge and lonely endeavour, no airplanes, phones, internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your shop is nice, I like eclectic.</p><p>We now have two Etsy shops, one for ethnic and one with period styles. It began with my mothers stuff, she started me on Yemeni jewellery, but had some nice Modernist pieces as well.</p><p>By the way, did you see the Indonesian Yogyakarta orchid brooch? <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/292894039/yogya-800-silver-orchid-brooch?ref=shop_home_active_5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/292894039/yogya-800-silver-orchid-brooch?ref=shop_home_active_5" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/292894039/yogya-800-silver-orchid-brooch?ref=shop_home_active_5</a> Looks familiar<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />? I can assure you it is truly Yogya, we see those brooches regularly here because Indonesia was once a Dutch colony. I gave a link with a list of Yogya workshop marks including PE in the other thread, but here it is again:</p><p><a href="http://www.djokja.nl/werkplaatsen.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.djokja.nl/werkplaatsen.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.djokja.nl/werkplaatsen.html</a></p><p>It is in Dutch, but here is some information on Yogya silver in English:</p><p><a href="http://www.925-1000.com/a_yogya.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.925-1000.com/a_yogya.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.925-1000.com/a_yogya.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
