[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 12106592, member: 2844"]Sounds like you got the rain we should have had. It has been much too dry here, with warnings of water shortages during the summer.:nailbiting: Yesterday was a beautiful 26 where I am in the south of the Netherlands, but it is a rainy 19 now. For the first time in my life I am happy with the rain, nature needs it, and we have had some huge wildfires. At one time firefighters from four different countries were working very hard trying to control a fire near me. It is under control now. The wind carried the smoke from another fire all the way to England. (Sorry about that England, it was wind from Germany, nothing to do with us.:D) The weather is forecast to pick up again on friday. Vermeil is gold over silver. Usually a thick layer of 18k gold over sterling (925) silver, the best quality of plating there is. I think that is a trick of the light, it is actually not faceted. It is brand new. Very beautiful with high quality findings, but not as charming and rare as yours. It is neither. They say it was made in the 1960s, but I suspect it was later, maybe 1980 or so. The style is Art Nouveau, a style that has been a favourite in Poland for over a century, and they make some beautiful pieces in the AN style. So a classic Polish pendant, beautiful egg yolk amber, but grossly overpriced. That would be much more realistic.;)[/QUOTE]
