Featured Ebay lot just arrived! Help me learn about my first proper batch?

The Monet stuff sells well even if not in great condition. I listed three necklaces in a bundle that I nearly didn’t bother as they weren’t in great condition and had lots of bids. Some Sarah Coventry does too. Have you got a UV torch? Always worth shining one over new purchases. Some Sarah Cov. gems are UG and have more value.
I like the snake design of the silver chain.

 

I haven't tried the UV but I will, thanks for the suggestion!

 

Thank you! It does take a while to do for sure and can be tedious. I like to do it because I know it's the way I like to look at things so others probably will too I just did these ones on Paint 3D, added text and saved as new file. I always brighten them up first before opening in Paint.

 

This is Sarah Coventry and I love it:

 

I would have still thought carnelian for #1, and typical for a sterling German pin in the first half of the 20th century. Perhaps the close up photo is making it look pink? Or is it actually more of a pink color instead of orange/brown?

 

No, it's definitely more of a dark orange!

 

Here is one somewhat similar. Also stamped "Germany" and "Sterling". (I like yours better, this one just for comparison.) Click on original listing.
