[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4475895, member: 8708"]I don’t really know what I have here so would love your opinions please. It’s got a tube hinge and C clasp so Victorian? (Early,middle or late?) I don’t know if the pearls are real, they have a translucent quality to them but definitely not the obvious loss of coating seen on more modern faux pearls. The pearls are held in place by the metal being pushed over the pearls. That bit is a bit rough. The metal is non magnetic and all parts test as gold on a stone, the pin end, c clasp and the body. So gold or gold filled. No marks. Very intricate fancy decoration around the outside. It was black with dirt so is work in progress. Any thoughts please. It was tricky to get decent photos hence the different backgrounds. Just over 2.5cm across. Thankyou for looking :) [ATTACH=full]387991[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387992[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387993[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387994[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387995[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387997[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387998[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388000[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
