<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 306715, member: 5833&quot;]I run into this all the time.&nbsp; I see a ring or bracelet described as Victorian, seller will insist that it is so based on style of the setting, when the item is set with lab grown stones of a type that were not on the market until the 1940s.&nbsp; People forget that once a style is developed, it can be replicated - &amp; is apt to come back into fashion - any time in the future.&nbsp; A similar error is assuming an item dates to the same year as some element with a patent mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
