Circa 1870's, the fine technique used to create this ornamentation is called 'Pique Pose' and is one in which an inlay of fine strips and wires of Gold and Silver is pressed into the warmed Tortoiseshell to create strikingly beautiful and intricate designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is believed that pieces such as this were made in workshops based in the famous Birmingham Jewellery Quarter where may skilled jewellers were employed.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course this type of jewellery is no longer made as the Hawksbill Turtles are protected, but it is collected widely.
