[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3861107, member: 2844"]It is a beauty evelyb, I would have bought it too. It isn't Dutch though, although I must say, I still come across Dutch pieces that are new to me. That wire loop setting (better term?) is used a lot on Balkan pieces, although not exclusively there. My guess is Croatia, which is also a filigree and coral country. Croatia has close cultural ties with Italy, and much of the coast was Venetian at one time. Adriatic coral is often that orangey red colour. Adriatic coral is essentially Mediterranean coral, the Adriatic Sea is the part of the Med between Italy and Croatia and the other Western Balkan countries.
