<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 11636399, member: 36"]Before nutrition and medicine were better, people were smaller. The Victorians made chokers as short as about 12 inches, about 30/31cm. Generally, you can tell the age of a piece of jewelry by the length. The longer it is the more recent it is. (long bead ropes excepted of course) Rings too. Glove rings were big, because they went over gloves, but my great-grandma's ring was about a USA three. That's too small for my fingertip never mind the whole finger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
