[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 9735149, member: 5006"]Lovely Bzz Bzz:) Well made costume jewelry, the triangular flat prongs are a clue for non precious metal. I'm rather stumped by the white metal color of the edge balls, but as you said the rubbed bits of the rim are silvery color too, I think it is made of gilt white metal. Usually these are rather made of brass, gilded or not. End of Victorian era or first quarter of 20th century:)[/QUOTE]
