I agree with fur or coat clip. I see a "human" figure in the brass elements with the black part being a head. Maybe I'm dreaming...Have you done...
The only mark is "14K" on each post. I see "wreathes" but I doubt that is what the designer had in mind. Here are the backs:[ATTACH]
You had somewhat better luck than I. Surprised I didn't see that. Thanks for the effort!
I'm thinking Celtic but I tried a Google image search and several text searches using 14K/garnet heart/Celtic earrings with no matches. What do...
I agree, crafter-made. Rousselet typically used beads with less obvious seams and smoother facets as well as clasps that complimented the design...
The jump ring on the 2nd necklace looks flat, perhaps there is a mark stamped on it on the underside that we are not seeing?
Good to know! I've bought/keep all kinds of specialty solutions over the years just to test for Bakelite!
Thanks for explaining! I knew just enough to make me a danger in replying since I had seen similar things. Best to be quiet and learn!
I believe they are prayer beads made of Faturan. This topic has come up before so you may have luck searching old posts while you wait for those...
I have seen different--clearly different--chain styles listed with the same name on diff. sites. If you think you know a name, you could look at...
I'd say Palma based on link that Bev supplied. Definitely not a wheat.
There are stories in that bracelet! Just curious, with just three panels, how comfortable is it to wear?
I would lean towards it being just an asymmetrical fringe piece since the pin set orientation is not horizontal. Interested to see what others say.
Maybe they were "inpsired" by some sort of ancient piece they'd seen? I'd try leather or pleather cords to tie it one. Jump ring would surely...
Gorgeous brooch. To me the styling and .925 stamp suggest late 1990's at the earliest.
I don't see Egyptian style or Neiger characteristics. And during their time clip backs were not used.
I agree with Marie and would add it looks cast, not stamped. Too generic to expect to ID a maker.
Hmm, disturbing! But this mark is on the SIDE and there is no evidence of sizing inside or out...
Hope they answer back. Either way, it would be useful info. And, your pix are very good!
The mark is on the side, very rarely do jewelers size rings at the side. And, it's in like-new condition so I'm confident it's original. Thanks,...
