I think in a lot of cases women value the history behind the pieces more than guys generally do, unless it was someone's gamer.
Looking at it, I wonder if the whole thing wasn't converted at some point in the 30s. The earrings were probably pierced originally, but in the...
I'm not smelling D&E on this one. The orange is manganese glass, looks like. Two-toned stones like those in the center could be Kreol or Kuba...

My family engagement rings and such are now mostly with my sister. She has the safe deposit box and my niece is the only grandchild anyway. And...

I'd say "well the artist apparently liked it."
Probably garnets. The brooch has been repaired at least once, so I'd bet it's older than advertised. The ribbon thing I'd associate with late...
And buy a loupe. On the other hand, if you're buying for the Pretty ... get one anyway, so you can look at them up close. If you really want to...
