The yellow pendant looks like it may be amber. Do you have a black light to test?

 

Hi2022, when you post so much jewellery together without much text in one thread, things will get missed by us.
Marks, for instance, could be overlooked. Which could mean that you don't have the right information should you want to sell. Some Dutch makers from the period you posted are interesting, pricewise.

Anyway...
The filigree brooch is very early 20th century.
The second brooch is a bit later, 1920s.
The silver repoussé pendant and round (?) are also 1920s.

I think the red-fuchsia and blue stones could be glass, given the period and use in silver, but it is best to have them tested. It is near impossible to say anything definite about stones like that from photos.

Yes, it looks like amber (barnsteen). Do you have a UV-light? If so, look at the stone under UV, it should fluoresce (fluoriseren onder UV lamp).

The silver clips with masks are from Bali, my guess 1960s-70s.

 

Yes.

The clear stones are glass.
What are the red and black inlays, enamel or stone? It is missing inlay on either side.

 

Brooch 2, looks to be 835 silver.

 

Do you mean brooch 2, INH? I can't see a mark on the filigree pin.

 

Yes thank you, I’ve changed it.

 

You're very welcome, of course.

 

@Hi2022 there are some clues to what some of the stones are like how they are set or like this one, the reflective finish tells me it is an AB (aurora borealis) Rhinestone made after 1955:


For most of them though, the only way to be sure is to have them tested, same with the unmarked metal pieces.

 

no i dont have the black Light.

 

sorry Any Jewellery. I'll post the next time the items separetly.

. No. I dont have any stuff at home to test the Stones also dont have the UV-light.
Maybe very stupid to ask but is UV-Light same thing as black -Light ?

 

1910-1930 right? What do you mean with .. missing inlay on Either side?

 

Yes its 835 marked + GM or simthing like that put in a sixangle

 

UV=black light. It's well worth buying a cheap one on Ebay. I like those clips.

Aurora borealis stones can't be earlier than 1955.

 

Not stupid, Hi, yes, it is the same. You can buy a small, cheap UV- flashlight (ultraviolet zaklampje) from a site like Marktplaats, or from your local hardware shop (ijzerwarenhandel).

Another way to test for amber/barnsteen is to rub the stone vigorously with your thumb. If after rubbing for a minute or so your thumb smells of pine (dennegeur) it is amber.
Amber is fossilised tree resin. Copal is an early stage, when the tree resin starts to change to amber.

Edited: deleted copal as a possibility.

 

As far as I can tell, the marks on the silver items are all Dutch. During that period Dutch silver was usually 835, although 925-950 does occur.
Nowadays it is nearly all 925.

 

In this case 1920s-30.

Het lijkt of op beide helften ingelegde steentjes of stukjes emaille missen. Het kan optisch bedrog zijn.
