[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 352293, member: 51"]Pretty set. My vote is no on the saphirets, but the stones might be "saphiret" or "dragon's breath" inspired. Here is a Camee necklace on Ebay UK and if the description is correct, it says that country of origin for Camee is the Czech Republic (of course the home of many saphirets, so good to take a careful look at this.)

An older saphiret is blue in one light and angle, and shifting to brown in another A couple thoughts -- the Ebay auction claims their necklace retailed for $125, so either way, a nicer made piece -- and you have both necklace and bracelet.[/QUOTE]
