<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 12177710, member: 78949&quot;]Thank you for sharing your thoughts, MaJa, it is always good to hear different opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the points raised by you:</p><p>1. Ok, good to know <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I paid 4,5 Euro for it, so I don&#039;t really mind the quality of gilded metal.</p><p>2. Well, there are some local (of the place where the piece was found) historical circumstances (which you might not be acquainted with) that make it highly improbable to be after 1944. I will not go into details but if we assume that it is from the period of1930s - 1950s, it is most certainly 1930-1944. Based on that it should be classified as Art Deco then.</p><p>3. I am not good at spotting the difference between pressed amber and naturally formed amber. I know in theory what to look at but don&#039;t feel confident to spot the difference. I looked at the pendant through a magnifying glass and did not see the streaks/sharp layers typical for pressed amber, I rather saw organic, swirling flow lines. but as I said, I am not confident in my ability to spot. In any case, it is not important for me, I don&#039;t sell it anyway.</p><p>4. Thank you for the remark, it is good to know who was first and who came second <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
