[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 559200, member: 2844"]Gorgeous, Barn. Yes, the brooch is Austro-Hungarian Renaissance/Baroque Revival. Beautiful! It looks like it could be ca .800 silver, do you have a testing kit? The 'stones' are glass, which is often the case in AH jewellery. No, wrong period. She is more in keeping with the Renaissance/Baroque era they got their inspiration from. I'm with Bronwen, the earring would not have defied gravity like that on the original portrait.;)[/QUOTE]
