<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 4499118, member: 8708&quot;]Late 18th!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Mary insists they are gemstones not glass she just can’t make up her mind what. Much as I moan about her she doesn’t normally say things are gemstone when they are glass or vice versa. I think that’s a great suggestion that I should get it checked by a decent jeweller. Now to find one who knows anything about antique jewellery……</p><p><br /></p><p>Thankyou <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />but honestly pure blind luck that I must be looking in the right places also maybe a little obsessional about looking at everything twice just in case and picking up anything that is even slightly out of the ordinary.&nbsp; Also I’m usually looking for things that others aren’t so they get left behind by the gold hunters or those looking for modern bling.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am officially excited! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />You are all so kind to celebrate someone else’s finds <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I’m REALLY excited now! I’ve never owned something so old.</p><p>Those links were fabulous,Thankyou [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] , especially the part about pendeloque. This suggests 1770, does the gold plating on mine make it a bit later or is this about right?</p><p>That link really needs pinning as its so informative about dating Georgian jewellery.</p><p>Last question, do I clean it?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393544[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
