Yeah. Thank you! Darn, I thought it would be older. Also, hope you're feeling better! :)
Have you tested both sections of the brooch? The lower part appears older in my mind than the upper part, but they both look rather old (Which...

What does the clasp look like? It looks more recent to me.
I bought this bracelet for about 5 euros over melt value today, figuring that it looks old enough to be valuable. The circular rose sections look...

Love the paint, but are you sure it's milk glass? It almost looks like an opaline glass vase I have... (also, I'm a total newbie when it comes to...
Okay, I think I might have a low-key fixation on finding Austro-Hungarian jewelry now. I picked the pendant up for 8 euros today and the brooches...
I emailed them, so I'll let you know if they respond and what they might say...
