[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 90592, member: 85"]Hi Just coming back to the boards. Your picture looked greyish to me that is why I was thinking silver. After I posted, I realized these were usually in gold tones, so I posted possibly gold washed. I really hope that you do not let anyone destroy your piece by having a scratch and then acid put on it. Can't tell you how many nice pieces of jewelry I have seen ruined. Higher gold karat will be marked. Low karat, or gold washed (vermeil) will not. This is an older piece of jewelry. People who collect this type of jewelry will know what they are looking at. I did not know the term Taille d'épargne. Found more examples here [URL]https://www.google.com/search?q=Taille+d%27%C3%A9pargne&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIlq61yrbzyAIVhzKICh3UuQzd&biw=1459&bih=974&dpr=0.85[/URL][/QUOTE]
