<p>[QUOTE="shamster, post: 10572091, member: 85821"]Just received this cutie in unmounted status- old stock from an old jeweller, or being taken off from its original mount? There’s a lot of Victorian examples of chalcedony brooches with gold details and turquoise, but the finer details of mine and use of green gold give me some Georgian vibe- maybe early Victorian?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also does anyone have suggestions for repurposing? I am too lazy to mail it to a jeweller for a customized mount, but love to hear more interesting ideas on how to make it wearable again! (but I guess even it got a new brooch fitting, it will just sit in my jewelry box all the time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530597[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530598[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530599[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530600[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
