[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 5836346, member: 30"]It's really nice and old. Amazed to be able to recognize the little pearls and ruby! Your pictures are great to capture the detail. It is my brain that has the problem to understand what I am looking at.. Do you think the pearl-ruby decoration is original to this piece? I do, but I cannot exactly tell how it is held in place there? :) It looks stuck into the blue glass (enamel)? Is the hair (fabric) encased beneath it and in between the silver back? Is that what tan colored stuff is coming up from the bottom of your photo in the blue area? The gold color on the back looks like 14k? Is it gold, or possibly gold filled? It looks like true gold color to me, and rolled gold was not yet invented, unless this would be a very early version of it. ;)[/QUOTE]
