[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 3687792, member: 17467"]Hello again, I have managed to upload more photos on side view. I wonder if anyone can comment on the style, design motif etc and age. [USER=7724]@Fid[/USER] [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] [USER=8708]@KSW[/USER] The cross was in a bad state when I bought it and the crevices at the back were full of dirt, so I cleaned it properly with water, soap and then with silver polish cleaner. I know that it is not ideal to clean that much, but this one I had to. Also one marcansise stone came off in the process. As regards to the stones, I also thought that they are garnet, but when I hold it against a natural light they became completely purple, like amethyst, first time I have seen this. I have other garnet jewlery, but they don't shift so much colour when held against natural light. Finally, the design looks a bit like fleur de lis in my eyes, what do you think? I am looking forward to reading your comments. Kind regards, Simona [ATTACH=full]311203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311206[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
