[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 482429, member: 2844"]Another very nice find, spart. I think ca 1900 American, and agree with you, the badly soldered safety clasp is a later replacement. That is no problem, those are often replaced. The loss of enamel is only small. Many people wouldn't find it a problem. And you can always 'kyratise' it, as our wonderful [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] probably would. Fleur de lis are a pretty generic heraldic symbol. Several Dutch towns and one province carry the fleur de lis in their crest, as do many other towns around Europe. If the 'lis' are gold on blue they are generally regarded as French. Fleur de lis means lily flower, but they are actually irises. What's in a name.;)[/QUOTE]
