Here are some close ups of the lockets. I can't get the little one open. I've only gotten it open twice before and once was because I dropped it...
The first group is of front of pendants and then the backs. Most need to be cleaned and/or repaired. One of them is missing either marcasites or...
Great advice! Thanks. It is such shame that the blue one has so much damage. I will share some of the other pieces later this week. I know there...
Thanks, Owned, I was hoping you would take a look.
Good point on the chain Marjorie. I hadn't considered that. I knew it was in tough shape overall and pretty much unfixable but it was a beautiful...
Sorry, I didn't give sizes. The purple glass pendant is 2" tall and 1 3/4" wide with an 18" chain. The blue one is just shy of 1" square and has...
I was just given a bunch of vintage and older jewelry. Among them were these two necklaces. The first appears to be brass with beautiful purple...
I will try cleaning it with a sunshine cloth and try to get some pictures of the stitching. Many thanks.
I can see some tiny stiches where the beaded part is attached to the frame if I gently pull it away from the frame. I can also see some stitched...
That's good to know for the future. I may still try to sell this one for a low price. As you said, someone might buy it for the beads. I am...

It's only 4" wide and 3 1/2" tall. It has some bead loss, especially at the top. I was wondering how old it might be. Is it an evening bag? It...
KSW, I read all of the jewelry posts and I think you know a lot more than you give yourself credit for. Ownedby bear, it is a beautiful set. I...
That sure looks like the same beads. They are definitely square shaped. Thanks KSW
Thank you Ownedby bear. I was thinking that as well but I always appreciate the confirmation. Do I call them just seed beads?
And also, would you call these Miyuki Seed beads? Earrings and necklace are marked Japan. 1960's or 1970's? Later?[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
All the information is much appreciated. Thanks to all.
Thanks Kiko, that will be useful when I try to describe it .
I think the first one has an interesting style with the top of the bead inserted into the chain.
That's what I think also. I appreciate the confirmation. I am always second guessing myself.
