<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 330296, member: 2844"]Exactly. There are other clues as well, the weight of the piece, and in the case of multiple turquoises, whether the stones are matched. Old Pawn pieces are heavier, not signed, no matched stones, old patina on silver and stones. But those properties alone don't make it Old Pawn, just NA jewellery with a nice age.</p><p>Fashions in SW NA jewellery making certainly did evolve, modern pieces are not like pieces from the 20s and 30s. And there were fashions for Modernist, etc. You can tell if a piece is from a certain period, or at least before a certain date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
