[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 940658, member: 2844"]It is a little stunner. I love the detail on the antennae, with the stones at the tips. But I'm with obb, it looks later, and I suspect Asian made. The smaller diamonds look rose cut, which is an old style, but the diamond on the body looks like a round brilliant cut, which means post 1919. Pre-1919 brilliants were not perfectly round. The rim of the setting is a bit sloppy, so I could be seeing a round stone when it is actually European cut (older brilliant cut, slight cushion shape). Looking forward to more photos. How big is it?[/QUOTE]
