[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9568202, member: 2844"]It is an antique Dutch necklace from Zeeland, probably Walcheren. Those smaller irregular beads are usually on necklaces from the early to mid 1800s. The gold is very likely 14k, but we need to see photos of the mark(s) for both the gold fineness and age. The Dutch always used Mediterranean red coral for their coral necklaces, that is a given which is never dwelt upon in the Netherlands. An important Dutch term when selling is 'bloedkoraal'. The necklace you found is from a different region, and the beads are different. Consequently the value is not the same as yours, and yours is probably older. Please post a closeup of the mark.:) The mounted coin is called a "halve gouden rijder". It is from Groningen (not Friesland), and it was used in the Dutch Republic. Groningen is to the east of Friesland. I don't know if you are Dutch or can read Dutch, look under 'Type II': [URL]https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouden_rijder[/URL] The pin back is pre-1950 on an earlier cross construction.
