    No idea what these are, maybe a mix of new and old?

    Think the ‘Jewelry experts’ are going to have a field day with this (and then there’s still your other posts)

    Uhmmm. The glare of artificial light on stone doesn't work for me, so I just left these listings to those who can actually see enough.
    Clicking on so many thumbnails in most of the threads isn't my idea of fun either.

    My advice to Estater: it is best to photograph jewellery in daylight, and white paper is easier on the eye than crumpled fabric with the occasional stain.
    And a title like: "no idea where to start with these", is not helpful for future search.
    Good luck.:)

    So this one looks like an amalgam of Chinese jade on top of a painting on wood with a leaf on the back that appears to be gilded with something. That is why I wasn’t sure where to start with this one

    This one also looks like a amalgam of different things with a wood carving possibly a Native American carved figure and Jade rings 5A6282E2-4657-4202-BE8E-671460E0FB5B.jpeg 4DA76DD9-5CC3-4715-A482-27F25BC139A2.jpeg 64FA1FE9-8E07-48D2-A2FC-EA58537238E5.jpeg

    All elements are Chinese, and it looks like an original piece.
    What looks like green jade is more likely serpentine, the yellow could be calcite.
    The deity is Guanyin, btw. On bone, or resin made to look like bone.
    Are you sure the wood is actual wood, not resin?

    Painting/scrimshaw on bone/wood with electroformed leaf on the back side.
