[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9744196, member: 2844"]A gorgeous set, Gadadver, and an absolute bargain.:) Datewise 1950s or even later. It is an example of Austrian and S. German "Trachtenschmuck", jewellery worn with regional dress. The style is Rococo Revival, one of a few Revival styles used for Trachtenschmuck. While not antique, your set is towards the higher end of the scale of silver Trachtenschmuck. You probably mean it isn't plated. The fineness is likely to be .835, which means it is 83.5% silver. There should be 835 marks stamped somewhere on the pieces, could be on the clasps and on the inside of the ring.[/QUOTE]
