<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 20382, member: 36"]It looks like it could be Chinese, or some other older southeast Asian. I once found a high-karat gold Buddha, about 21k, set with a plastic catseye. It was about to go in a junk pile, which is how I got it, when some little marks on a soldered bail jumped out. Someone out that way could easily have put real stones in a costume setting, or in a real setting with a weird plating job. The back of the bezel for the purple rock has me wondering. Normally they wouldn't cast costume that thinly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
