[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 872027, member: 5833"]I was toying with the idea that the stone was, or is meant to look as though it was, worked at a time & place without the use of diamond dust. Loop at top looks out of keeping with the rest. My cogitations on the matter are influenced by the way I have seen older elements brought forward in time, combined with newer materials & workmanship. E.g., I have a fob-sized miniature desk seal that appears to be a Roman glass intaglio held by a Georgian era mount with what I suspect is a Victorian replacement handle.
