<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 10049014, member: 36"]First, I highly doubt it's gold. It's made all wrong for precious metal and dead bang for costume. Art Nouveau Style is correct; I'd guess it's more 1990s than 1890s. The clasp mechanism is all wrong for earlier, and the while rivets were a 1950s method, it just doesn't look right and wasn't used on gold ever as far as I know. The gold on the back doesn't look like real gold; the texture looks like older gold-filled items would.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
