<p>[QUOTE="Msalicia, post: 4481407, member: 13664"]That is beautiful. Three marriages? The square top from the back looks as if it’s covering part of the design of the large piece. IMO or guess the pearls look natural. The emerald color stones and rosy stones would not surprise me if they are natural also. Emerald? Rhodolite? Ruby? One rosy stone is whiteish in its setting. Maybe it was heated when the current pin mechanism was added. Or just dirt or glue? I agree it’s a mishmash of styles. Bell flowers are so pretty. The whole piece is. So hard to see the back for any more clues. The square has a Persian feel. But that’s a guess. I would think in the common use of a belt buckle there would be surface wear to at least the pearls. Can u see any? Please do update if u find more info. Could it be a breast ornament attached to chain and others like the Royals wear?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
