[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4190564, member: 5833"]The outer frame looks like bog oak to me. Having the pin assembly screwed directly into the material is consistent. The central plaquette I think is a separate piece. Could be bois durci. Whatever it is, that part appears to have been made by being pressed into a mold, not carved. I see the design as sort of a modernized Celtic knot. A lot of bog oak jewellery comes from Ireland.[/QUOTE]
