<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 369643, member: 2844&quot;]Thank you, it is still good information, because it is nice to see the price for others. Mine was nowhere near that price, and it has a necklace as well. But the asking price in the listing is not unreasonable for a 19th century gold and coral pendant.</p><p>Alas, no marks. Mine are on the clasp, the one in the listing could have lost the necklace, or never had a necklace. Jewellery is often split up in and inheritance, to prevent family rows.</p><p>Even Dutch Frisian gold or silver caps like this one, worn under a white lace cap, were cut up:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcRCAnhFwlnpm2IpjMT9P9_BRezyEmWY-O0qakWfAu6Lt3_KZ0MrWQ&amp;sp=50e1c0a2b6022b365e0b4bbb03dac9c6&amp;anticache=275597" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The decorated ends were made into brooches like this silver one, I come across them regularly:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcQzuVbFqSQb7F51LtT3dw5F9DehnRLKjgFPM91fZUWw0r6C9rnByQ&amp;sp=233df29f5b4441d340c7148d08156afc&amp;anticache=935694" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The cap itself went to the melter and the money was split between the heirs.</p><p>This is what it looks like when it is worn under the lace cap:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffarm5.static.flickr.com%2F4145%2F4957177067_d9d39b0918_b.jpg&amp;sp=a0ef5577ddbe38c23c89594157065de5" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
