[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4513872, member: 2844"]The style is not Macedonian in any way. They make stunning filigree in the Balkans, and use stones as well, but not like this. As I said, it is Armenian. The outer shape of the filigree is classic Armenian. Many jewellery techniques we regard as Ottoman were introduced to neighbouring nations by the Armenians. They have always been an important factor in Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern jewellery making. Adding large agates is something that began in Armenia, the country. I am not sure it spread to other Armenian communities, but I can't rule it out.[/QUOTE]
