<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lizjewel, post: 2557762, member: 13874&quot;]My limited<i> two cents</i>: <i>Y-style</i> is correct. It saw a <i>big revival</i> in the 1990s. Very often self-created by talented jool crafters with new metal findings, i e silver or silver-like chains, vintage crystal beads rescued from broken necklaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is a very nice style, pretty, wearable. The catch is not &quot;dateable&quot; per se. They were made since at least the early 1900s, some even earlier, and as we speak. Only the materials and finishes vary.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s risk in assigning <i>vintage eras</i> to single elements, findings or other components. There are many <i>late marriages</i>, <i>remarriages</i> of these around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Better not to assign any particular <i>era or style</i> when selling but let the attractiveness of the jewelry speak for itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a brief look into some jewelry myths:</p><p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20000815221954/http://costumejewels.about.com/hobbies/costumejewels/library/weekly/aa022400a.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://web.archive.org/web/20000815221954/http://costumejewels.about.com/hobbies/costumejewels/library/weekly/aa022400a.htm" rel="nofollow">Dating Our Jewels, Part I:</a></p><p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20000815221954/http://costumejewels.about.com/hobbies/costumejewels/library/weekly/aa022400a.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://web.archive.org/web/20000815221954/http://costumejewels.about.com/hobbies/costumejewels/library/weekly/aa022400a.htm" rel="nofollow">Clasps, Irridescence, Table Cut</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Links to subsequent Parts in this series are at the end of this article.
