[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8464277, member: 2844"]You're right about the period, and could be right about Germany too. The stone is either white agate or white moonstone (popular in the Netherlands), the small stone is probably a Burmese ruby. It is Biedermeier. A style from the German-speaking world that was also popular in the Netherlands, due to the importance of the 'bourgeoisie' here. The style was geared towards the up and coming middle class that didn't want to be associated with royalty and their styles.[/QUOTE]
