The more I look, the more I feel unsettled by this. It's trying too hard. Seemingly Schreger lines everywhere you look; a riot of shades of...
Nah, you can wear them with anything. Certainly the bracelets & the ring could be signature pieces for you. The necklace would be dynamite with...
@Xristina I meant to remind you to check for signatures. The vast majority of cameos are not signed and not all signed pieces are particularly...

The first one does not look like a mask to me. I see an amusing figure of a mouse on its back, feet in the air. Size?
Maybe from a production of Annie Get Your Gun?
Glass.
If the strands were originally knotted, they would have been a bit longer. It's also possible some beads got lost in a break. Never heard this,...
At the very least, this has been restrung by a non-professional. The other possibility is that a home crafter has married the beads and the...
Looks like you could almost patch it with the head of a straight pin.
