Agrred. Often English, made in Stourbridge. I like the blue ones especially.
I've a flower type star brooch somewhere like that. No silver mount. It came from someone who I know bought it in Bethlehem.
Your deciphering eyesight is better than mine. I wasn't reading kaiserliche on that first word, it looked like u then an eszett. You've got more...
The amethyst glass pendant is Czech/Bohemian by the way.
Hm. That might be from Palestine as was then, or at least the carved part might be. It was a bit of a thing to carve MOP in Jerusalem.
Can you tell if the round one is celluloid, ivory or even shell? If it's celluloid, I'm inclined to French. Nice blingy set, too.

I've seen 925 on late 19th stuff here. But, yours looks like Polish reconstituted and coloured amber, and I'd think 80s at the earliest.
Cold to the touch or warm? They're rather nice.
The registry number is earlier, but that's fine, it got assayed later. Talk about cultural appropriation by the Brits.

Ooh, that's a thought! It does look like a comet now you've said that. Even more reason to keep it. There's this one chap, nice man, who sells...
I'd call it reeds or grass.
Emulating, I'd reckon. Staffs flow blue probably. It's too chunky for Chinese, imo, and it's more likely to have been commissioned locally.
Separate names with a comma.
