    hi folks, just a few pieces i found the other day

    both cheap so doesnt matter if junky

    i was kinda hoping the beads might be some kind of jade ?

    i tested them on the guys stall, with a fork he was selling :)

    tested them at home as well, steel leaves a residue, but no scratch

    clasp broke off while looking at them

    thinking the earrings might be a christian fish type

    any thoughts appreciated

    Hum... Irregular shape plus bubbles in the green beads... Glass:(
    The earrings are indeed fish shaped, but not sure if pagan or christian;)

    Could the little clasp be gold?

    I'm with kyra, the beads are glass. Nice old necklace. Antique/old gold clasps aren't always marked.
    The earrings are generic fish shapes, made by a craftsperson who likes fish.;) I don't know if they are comfortable, with the hooks in that position.:oops:

    Moonglow glass beads. I bet those earrings are Peruvian or similar and made from alpaca.

    Most welcome. Moonglow beads are often plastic, but yours are nice glass.
