I hope so! Spotted this clasp in a job lot together with the brooch and some other lovely necklaces. Necklace has been restrung so I don’t know...
I’m wondering if this has some age to it as it has that squared GP wire so many 20/30s necklaces had.
I thought you’d got it there again INH- it’s slightly different but far better than I managed to find. I’m struggling to know why anyone would...

Sorry, nothing to help but it will be lovely mended and sparkling!

That's a good thought but no they are just plain jump rings. I wonder if someone added them later to sparkle them up a bit?
I've had a look and there isn't much to see but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Would be very nice if they were Jade but part of me...
Sorry, it's tricky to get a good picture but definitely no bubbles as glass was my first thought too. Mary Contrary Mark III is less Contrary...
