Featured A Few Pieces to Show - help with amber bug

Amazing knowledge on this board. Well done! Wouldn't know where to start with Russian marks.

Just wanted to say that first thought with the ballerina pin was Boucher. I'd be inclined to let the buyer replace that one rhinestone. If you do it yourself, in fairness you should disclose there was a repair, and it becomes "a repaired piece", and maybe better just to list as found. Will be a quick fix for someone.

Was this jewelry all from the same former owner? Seems like they had nice things!

 

Is there a number on the ballerina? If check this chart for dating it, I got the info at https://www.costumejewelrycollector...costume-jewelry-history-jewelry-signatures-b/

Later pieces also may have “P” for pin or “E” for earring, in addition to the number.

 

Because of the ant with amber, we forgot the beautiful ballerina!!!!

The ballerina is marvellous! I'd wear it without hesitation no matter who and when made it. Sorry, I cannot contribute.

 

I was blown away by the ending price on the Ballerina considering she was missing one stone

 

Spectacular finish! Yay!

 

Congratulations, cxgirl!
The Ballerina is so beautiful that it is no surprise it sold for such a price. IMO everyone can replace or have replaced the missing stone while it is difficult to find such a beauty.
Inspired by your Ballerina today I bought a ballerina brooch Nothing comparable though But still now I also have a ballerina brooch.
