I would also like to learn more about this. I like the simplicity of these; they are not extravagant at all (I guess that is the Arts and Crafts...
It does seem like it must be a composite...the colors just don't look natural; I am certainly no expert though. Hopefully an actual expert will...
In reference to the piece in the lower right hand corner: this is the third time in the last week that I have seen this 'stone'...never have seen...
Will do!
Sorry, I just re-read that post and realize you were asking the same question there. I think there is a Czech group also...?
@KSW I saw that post too...Vintage Jewelry of Bohemia
Thanks again @flipper. I found that info on the 925-1000 site also. I guess I can put this to bed now...I appreciate your input!

Not pearls...and not silver (sunshine cloth doesn't even touch the dark areas, although I haven't actually tested it).
This necklace belonged to my grandmother. I just love the two tone beads. Can anyone identify when/where they were made? I'm not even sure what...
Just wanted to share this pretty pin/brooch made from broken china. I just came across it while sorting through the backlog (I knew this post was...
Hmmm, would probably lose about 3" (it is currently 24"). Hand knotting would retain some of that length. Maybe I need to break down and start...
It is pretty (I love the color of it). But I am afraid it will need to be restrung. After looking it over more closely I found that the number...
So I'll be okay if I call it apple coral? I tend to get bogged down in the details of description, don't want anyone to come back with a 'item...
