Yikes, who did that horrible scratch. Early twentieth or late nineteenth, probably simply says 18 ct.
Have a look at this. https://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/629a.htm
I’d call those Persian rather than Moroccan style. Lovely quality.
Do not get me started on the nonsense end of day term. ;) It’s spatter glass and I’d agree on twenties or thirties Czech on the shade.
they absolutely do not, and they’d be in trouble if trading standards saw that letterhead.
The appraiser is one of those cash for bling places. I doubt they tested it. They’re pawnbrokers, and I think I bought a ring there a few years...
I think that’s Japanese. Forties into fifties. Shape is nouveau but colour and decoration is very festival of Britain.
It’s a Cyprus mark for 18 carat, yes. Looks typical of some of the rather lovely honking big cocktail rings sold there. Could well be aquamarine.
Older than that, these go back to the nineteenth century. And very saleable. I’d have grabbed it for the owls.
So have I, it’s maddening.
I’ve some very similar Grosse pieces. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was a Pforzheim maker.
It's annoyingly familiar. Style screams late eighties into nineties. Agree on CE. I did find one on Reddit, but no one knew who it was.
Woof. [ATTACH]
Oh, me too. What a sight.
Missed this. I’d agree on Czech, probably possibly thirties.
Don’t get me started on AI. I have fun sometimes using it to “identify” things and laugh at the result.
Many thanks both. Definitely a result! I did find one, if I can hunt it out again, sold by an auction house as silver plate. Hah. Little did...
Oh, hang on. The dangle might have been a cross. That would fit really well with Spanish formal jewels. And the cross embellished with those rose...
Great minds, aj. I looked at it again last night and wondered if Spanish was a possibility. It has a certain formality to it.
There was also a fashion for decorative cocktail watch brooches, too.
Separate names with a comma.
