Tereh,
I bought this sõlg offline and I noticed it had a flower pattern on it. I was wondering if anyone knew about the different patterns that are on the sõlg designs. Do the designs have a specific meaning? Do they vary by region or family? I wanted to get one that looked like it was from lõuna eesti
This type and size of sõlg came into use from early 1800 to middle 19th century. It is hard to tell anything more without other details/pictures . They are made of silver and there should be a makers mark (about half have those) somewhere behind it that gives more information. Style and engravings are connected to maker more than wearer location. In estonia silversmiths usually were working in towns and locals went there to buy silver jewellery from them. It looks pretty typical.
While there might me some variation regionally, I doubt that a vast majority of Estonians could tell the difference. I know that the oversized ones are from south-east Estonia and that’s about it.
