<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 8287352, member: 5398"]This is my first find of the year -- at Savers for about $7.50 after discount and sales tax. I could not find any markings on it. I'm quite sure it's not sterling--it was kind of dull but did shine up a little with a Sunshine cloth. The clasp looks like brass under the silver finish, but the other pieces look like some type of solid silver-tone metal. The spring ring clasp is the older style. The center/dangle section looks a little odd to me and I wonder if a previous owner reconfigured it, but the necklace is 15" long as is, and if I changed it to a straight chain there would be an extra connecting piece. The extra long prongs also seem kind of unusual to me. I'm wondering if it's Czech and from the 1920s-30s. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]426512[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426516[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
