<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 416866, member: 36"]You SCORED! I collect those filigree pieces when I can find them. They came in costume, sterling, and white gold. Maybe platinum too, but I've never seen any. The stones in the bracelets are almost certainly glass. Synthetic sapphires are possible too; those turn up in Deco bracelets all the time, including the gold ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>The cross is a Jerusalem cross. They've been made for centuries and are still being made. I have an almost identical one my mom bought in Israel 60 years ago. As for the other amethyst piece, it's old. They call that stone style a "scissors cut", but that's as far as I can get with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
