Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 02-15-2009 04:30 PM Without a signature (or even with one), it is almost impossible to trace the makers of this sort of vintage silver filigree jewelry as it was produced in quantity all over the world and sold inexpensively to tourists. Probably nobody ever documented the makers either. I'm not 100% confident in attributing your set to a particular country/region. Maybe Chinese? Perhaps somebody with more experience in filigree silver jewelry has a better guess. I would say it is from the 30s-50s. IP: Logged

Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 02-16-2009 12:25 AM Back in the day, remember jewelry of this type coming from Thailand. It was a popular gift sent by Navy personnel to family at home. Beyond that, I see it in jewelry stores now, coming from Mexico. IP: Logged
