[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 357767, member: 147"]I won an auction last year, a lot of jewelry, all junk except for one piece. At least I was pretty sure the one piece was good. I was the 3rd highest bidder, the top two dropped out after the listing ended I think because they chickened out. That was lucky for me since my high bid was $200 and the others were almost twice as much. Anyway, it was a necklace that I was pretty confident was Pools of Light. Pools of Light is a vintage Deco piece made up of polished orbs of rock crystal. They are not drilled but connected to each other by silver wire wrapped around each and set into a narrow channel carved into the orb. The seller called it a "glass ball necklace". When I got the lot I tested the necklace and yes, it was rock crystal and silver. I did not alert the seller beforehand because there was no way for me to be sure from a photo, it could have been glass, I am very happy it wasn't :shame: I did let him know what it was after I got it and confirmed the materials.
