[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3787231, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous, Cheryl, I would have bought it too.:happy: It could be Dutch, although the way the 'stone' is set and the patch don't look very Dutch to me. As you know, filigree is one of the most difficult techniques to find an origin of. The type of scrollwork of the filigree frame is also seen on Dutch Frisian silver (yay!). But I honestly don't know if your cutie is Dutch. There are some Dutch filigree miniatures on these silver miniatures pages: [URL]https://haffmansantiek.nl/collectie/zilver-silver-precious-metals/miniaturen-19e-en-20e-eeuw-miniatures.html[/URL] Haffmans is a good site to explore Dutch silver in general. While searching for a similar miniature filigree box, I put in a bid for a filigree necklace and bought a pair of antique 14k gold and coral earrings.:shame: I will concentrate on trying to find a similar box now, promise.:angelic:[/QUOTE]
