[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9822330, member: 2844"]Stunning boxes, Rachel!:jawdrop: Once in a lifetime finds!:woot::woot: :jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::facepalm::dead: Those are collector's items!!! The first could have contained a jewel that symbolised peace between formerly feuding German lands. As Dessert said, Germany used to have many (semi-)independent kingdoms, principalities, etc. and quite a few hotheads. Could you show us the texts? Fried' is short for Frieden, peace. It is quite common to just use Fried, especially for older pieces, before High German was standardised. It is also used in poetry. ernebrt is a word I don't know, nor can I make sense of it. So I wonder if it could say something else? The second box was made for a specific item, but what was it? It is just as stunning. Be sure to have all the stones tested. There could be some very nice surprises there.:happy: It could be an 'Erlauchtkrohne', literally a crown for someone who is addressed as 'illustrious'. Those were generally earls. The one below is the crown of the children of earls, with an ermine tail on top, but the earl (daddy ;)) would have an orb on top: [ATTACH=full]489481[/ATTACH] [URL]https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlaucht[/URL][/QUOTE]
