    I bought these two pieces this week the round flower enameled pin is marked 14k and is set with graduated pearls and measures 1" (26mm) diameter. The other necklace drop is also marked 14k with no other markings that I can find. I believe that they are both Krementz pieces. Sorry about the photo quality my smartphone stopped taking sharp photos, time fore a new one.

    Krementz they ain't. Both appear to be pre-WWI. Belle Epoque-era stuff (aka Titanic era to us Americans). The pin has that funny backward-acting safety catch. I'd be thinking fancy color garnets for the red and green stones. Maybe peridot on the green one. It would take a gem tester and and expert to be sure.

    I agree, late-ish Belle Epoque, Edwardian era, likely peridot. And beautiful.

    I agree that the pendant is possibly not Krementz, but I am not convinced that the pin is not Krementz.

    Your pendant does appear similar to the work of FRANK Krementz, relative to the more prolific and better known Krementz jewelry company, which was founded by George Krementz.

    This piece kind of has the suffragette colors and looks to be from that era
