    Good evening,
    I have purchased some of these in auction, still learning, texture, materials, etc. I wonder what you make of it!
    I am struggling to upload full image pictures, this is the best I could do.

    The first piece is Art Deco style, appears to be glass stones, probably set in rhodium or nickel-plated metal. Any marks on the clasp? The third piece is fab! Is it a brooch or a clip? Looks 1930's to me. The last piece appears to have mother-of-pearl and perhaps stone inlay. May be silver, maybe not. Any marks?

    Number two is glass; the beads were made to resemble turquoise but not fool anyone. Number three looks like a dress clip from the 30s. The last one looks more like the 70s or early 80s.

    Yes, is the third piece a brooch, a clip or a pendant? Art Deco.

    The first pendant may be uranium glass. Have you tried UV light on it?

    That’s a very good idea, I have not tried it yet, will keep you posted.

    The brooch I posted by mistake, hallmarked 935. Will post some more photos of the back shortly.
    I would like to ask your opinion, are they glass or real stones craved?
    Thank you.

    I wonder if the beads that resemble turquoise are Morano? They are beautiful in reality. How old are they?
    Thank you.

    I wonder what you make of the black beads, 5th photo, are they hematite or glass (Swarovski) perhaps ?
    Thank you.

    I bet it is uranium glass, I have one almost identical and it glows bright! :)

    I have tried a UV light on the green glass and it does glow neon green. Would it be safe to ware if it’s uranium?
    Thank you.

    Yes! I have a few uranium glass pieces of jewellery. The uranium is encased in the glass and the levels used are usually quite low so unlikely to do any harm.

    It is safe so long as you don't eat it. :p

    The long black glass ones aren't old; the flattish beads are a design the Chinese started making in the 1990s or later. The metal findings could be Chinese or Indian, and probably not old either.
