<p>[QUOTE="George Chaney, post: 4429366, member: 19137"]Man I am jealous. That is a lovely piece. You will want to look very closely with a loop for hallmarks. They may be small and hard to see without one and there is a lot of real estate on the piece. It is possible its custom, but even custom pieces the artisan would usually want to nick it with required markings. I do feel this was custom. On the first glance, I do not have the impression it is modern as the turquoise stones have a patina that suggests turn of the century/victorian kind of look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
