There is no way to confirm the stones from a photo, you will need to have them tested.
#1 is not Victorian. It has a simple c-clasp but the hinge is newer. JMHO, but I would date it to the 30s or 40s. It will look much better once...
After years of finding similar bracelets I have a caution for you. Have the metal tested. I can’t tell you how many times I have come across...
A local scrapper told me the best thing to do when home testing is do the scratch test and leave it for 30 minutes. If it holds it is gold, gold...

[ATTACH] Pillows! I use them for display at shows :)
Oh my, you don't want to ask me, I would say yes!
