<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4486444, member: 2844&quot;]Nice collection [USER=9683]@Iouri[/USER] .</p><p><br /></p><p>You rang?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>That dome ring is Bulgarian.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Very nice example of Balkan filigree/cannetille. I forgot the name, so I just say dome ring.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The design dates back to Byzantine times.</p><p>Bulgaria is one of those rare countries where they use .950 silver.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (Not always though)</p><p><br /></p><p>The style of the pretty garnet ring is typical Central European imo. My money is on Germany.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting for [USER=1496]@Hollyblue[/USER] , since we came across a similar double marking from Italy a while ago. Israel is another country where they often mark both silver and gold finenesses on the one piece, so both metals are accounted for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
