[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1025798, member: 2844"]It is a beauty, Touchdry. Try centuries.;) Traders in any field come in all shapes and sizes. Some do their homework, others just make it up as they go along, and most just pass on what they have heard, without researching it. It depends on personality and the willingness to learn, and sometimes on the speed with which objects are traded due to economic necessity. Over the years myths are created, but also shortcuts like the term Shakudo for anything Japanese with raised work using undefined alloys. Auction houses are notorious for misnomers and wrong attributions btw.:facepalm: It is mostly no homework, just guesswork. I thank them for that sometimes, it has led to some really nice bargains.:happy:[/QUOTE]
