Thanks @Bronwen :-) So ís the consensus still c1900?.
I'm so confused with this ring!. I've had everything from 'Georgian' to a 'hobbyist made it (badly)yesterday', from 'isn't it interesting' to...
I've looked through a hundred Jakob Bengel necklaces and most are Galalith and not like this. I've found a couple, one the same as this and one...
Holly, what is the name for this setting with the little burs of metal turned in to hold the gem?. I'm struggling to find anything similar online...

I looked a number up the other day and was surprised to find it together with all the drawings. It was a dress clip from 1931. Some you can find,...
Worth looking out for then :hilarious:
Sorry, that was my best shot :oops:

I may be WAY off here as I know nothing about this type of jewellery but could MLK be Melinda Lucas Koinva? Book about Hopi Silversmiths has this...
