<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 559415, member: 5833&quot;]I admit to having more than once bought a piece in part because I was fascinated by it on mechanical grounds.&nbsp; Unfortunately, many high end brooch/pendant pieces have become separated from their bails &amp; have only the hook at the top left.&nbsp; Wonder where all those bails are?&nbsp; Melted down I suppose, by heirs who did not know what they were.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
