[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9533177, member: 2844"]And you did it perfectly.:) We all use google (or equivalents), and its is very useful. Google image search is different from googling terms etc though. It gives you an image that is comparable to the one you upload, but it doesn't give you any knowledge. And periods, even cultural settings, can differ greatly from the item on the image you uploaded. Of course you can use it as a start for research, but it is sometimes thought of as correct information, which is a risk. This is when a superficial view takes prevalence over knowledge and expertise, and unfortunately I've seen it on Antiquers too. Often the OP has left by the time someone comes along with correct information, because they were happy with the wrong ID.[/QUOTE]
