[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4573675, member: 2844"]Welkom Dessert, en uw hanger is een charmante schoonheid. Ik zou haar ook gekocht hebben. Ik kom van net ten noorden van u, Noord Brabant, vlakbij de Belgische grens.;) Seeing your gorgeous pendant, my immediate thought was France, and given the style most likely Provençal. If you scroll down this page to Provençale fibula, you'll see a similar style with the use of coloured stones, gold accents, and filigree: [URL]https://www.bijouxregionaux.fr/en/contenu.php?idcontenu=14[/URL] Unfortunately they don't show pendants in this style, but they do exist, as do delicate necklaces. I have a necklace in this style, and I believe our esteemed French member [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] has too. Regarding the stones on your pendant, they look real to me. In general Provence used both real and glass in their jewellery. My Provençale fibulas all have glass 'stones', but my necklace has real stones. My opinion is late 19th century. European regional jewellery often has influences from earlier fashions, just like regional dress.[/QUOTE]
