A diamond can be chipped, it's rare but it happens. It's a nice piece either way for what you paid, and I'm sure the chip can't be noticed with...
Here's a page that looks like it might help. https://www.dollreference.com/patsy-type-dolls-identified/
The reason I say it, is simply law of averages. Almost all turquoise you come across is some manner of imitation. Unless it has significant age on...
Yes, probably artificial turquoise. Could be resin, dyed stone, or compressed turquoise (which is kinda sorta real, but . . .). The other ring is...
Hard to tell without seeing it up close, but it looks like it could be butterfly wing.
Scabby, is that you? I respect the work you're doing with the unions.

I have to say it has a lot of presence when worn! I love it. Could it been originally worn higher up on the arm? Such as over a pair of opera...
Love them so much! Very cool and the pearls do look like a nice addition.
It's a made to look. Made to look older then it is. It does seem to be glass, that would be my take also.
The broken one is nothing special to me, I think you could find similar without the damage inexpensively. But the other one is really cool!
I'm curious what would happen if you polished it gently with a polishing cloth. Would it shine up like gold? Seems unusual to me to see plated...
