Many thanks both. Definitely a result! I did find one, if I can hunt it out again, sold by an auction house as silver plate. Hah. Little did...
Oh, hang on. The dangle might have been a cross. That would fit really well with Spanish formal jewels. And the cross embellished with those rose...
Great minds, aj. I looked at it again last night and wondered if Spanish was a possibility. It has a certain formality to it.
There was also a fashion for decorative cocktail watch brooches, too.
I love black dot. And I’d have grabbed this in a heartbeat. I wonder if the missing dangle was a triangle the other way up. That would balance...
Egg yolk makes sense. I’ve got a beeswax necklace and yes, it is more shiny. I do love amber as you well know!
It might be French, many were. The construction and quality would work for twenties into thirties, it’s comparable to others I own. I just love...

OK, here's the amber necklace. Beeswax I believe. And another necklace which looks as though it has small amber beads. The swirls are horn of some...

It came from a bloke who seems to buy things at car boot sales for far too much and then sell them below what he pays. I’ve watched him. I wasn’t...

I can't quite see the hinge. I'm inclined to 30s or 40s with that clasp. Nice find.
I’d say carved amethyst. And very nice too.
The one I found is probably plate, but for four quid, I wasn’t complaining. Bought from this odd but pleasant chap who seems to buy things in bulk...
I’d think you’re right on that. Underplate for a tureen possibly. Lovely gilding.
It’s still out there. I’ve an accomplice who frequents car boots and such with me, and she’s literally got a nose for gold. She also sometimes...
Yup. A whole ten quid. I also bought a fabulous bead flapper necklace for fifteen. Happy bunny time. Oh, and an Amber one for a fiver. And...
