<p>[QUOTE="Curioser, post: 1978705, member: 13823"]I believe the charms/fobs came from a Goldette or Accessocraft NYC costume necklace. I have never known either company to use real gems. Since the gold plate is pretty worn, I don't think they'd be of interest to any collector missing a fob. So, if you can get that prong-lifting tool, you may be able to save some pretty glass. Just a warning--sometimes the gold foil of a stone stays more on the setting than on the stone when you pull it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
