Is the central stone warm or cold to the touch? The ceramics ball pendant is cute. It looks like southern European pottery, Spain, Italy, possibly Portugal. Handmade, but probably not much value. Is the green pendant to the left of the turtle stone? If so, are there tiny sparkles in it? It looks like it could be aventurine. Is the pearl ring sterling, and is the pearl real? If it feels slightly gritty when rubbed against the teeth it is a real pearl. I agree with Bronwen, there could be interest for the Prince of Wales feathers locket. The crystals/rhinestones in the oval brooch at the bottom could be aurora borealis, but the costume joolies know more about that. They will need a better pic of that one too.[/QUOTE]
