<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 311063, member: 36"]The metals are probably gold and sterling, with bitty "seed" pearls. I bought this ages ago but have never been able to figure out where it came from. It looked mid-century at first, but now I'm wondering if it's not Russian and a lot older. The clasp is decidedly funky, and it was only this morning that I looked at the back of one of my Russian paper mache Christmas pins and saw something similar. [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] , [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] - any ideas? It doesn't have a mark to bless itself with, but it came from a local fine jeweler for not much.(they gave away gift cards for some promotion or other and I bought this.) I bought it for that funky clasp, and for the price tag naturally.</p><p><br /></p><p>The images aren't that great; there's snow moving in.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]102891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102892[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
