[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9439790, member: 2844"]Gorgeous, drg. I agree with dyed Mexican 'onyx', if I am right it is actually travertin. It is an older piece, with that style and mark, probably 1940s. Stylewise late Art Deco going on to Modernist. Not Brutalist, it is too stylised, smooth, and symmetrical. Brutalist is from the French word 'brut', meaning rough or crude. This is the opposite imo. Brutalism in jewellery is also later than this, 60s and 70s.[/QUOTE]
