<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 10579309, member: 76316&quot;]<font size="5">Mornin&#039;, folks...</font></p><p><font size="5">Got this yesterday from a fellow who has high-end estate jewelry. It will probably be a BD gift for my sweetie, in about a month, though I&#039;ve already got several delights for that occasion, an&#039; I like this one a lot. Jewelry isn&#039;t my thing, usually...I wear none of it, but occasionally spot something so unusual that I&#039;m captivated, an&#039; compelled to purchase. I sure wish it were marked, so that&#039;s primarily what this post is about; who made it, where...an&#039; roughly when, please?</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">It&#039;s ~1 3/4&quot; long, ~1&quot; wide; the frames around the lower inlays are ~1/8&quot; deep. The citrine bezel is ~3/16 diameter, ~1/8&quot; high; weight is ~7 gm.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5">Hard to picture with sufficient detail, but all 3 panels are indeed inlays of multiple individual pieces, of a variety of materials: 25 pieces in the gloss-black on matte-black, 9 in the striped green, orange &amp; black, an&#039; 10 in the MOP checkerboard.</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">The silver framework may be a lost-wax casting, or perhaps lovingly constructed an&#039; exquisitely finished from sheet stock...silver is assumed, but alas unmarked as such.</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">You are the first to see it; I&#039;ve done no research yet. I hope this tickles your tastes, an&#039; your curiosity. As always, your comments are sought, an&#039; welcome. Thanks for lookin&#039;!</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">EDIT: citrine vs Citron...Thanks, Cheryl!</font></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530806[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530808[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530809[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530812[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
