[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3642857, member: 2844"]Great haul, Hamburger. Those coral beads are the real deal, and look antique. Are the beads on #1 the tesbih/tasbeh bone? I'm with obb on #3, probably amber, a UV light will tell us more. And #6 is haematite. #7 rice seed pearls with what looks like lapis lazuli beads? #9 is faux turquoise. Jørgen Jensen is a good design name, but doesn't have enormous value. If I remember correctly, Jørgen used to work for Georg Jensen, but the two are not related. Jørgen Jensen worked mostly in pewter, like your set. :blackeye: No Swiss marks or Swiss fineness.;) 830 was used a lot in Germany, and they have edelweiss too, and gentian, the other flower. The pendant is German Historic Revival imo, my guess 1930s-50s, although the historic style is still worn with Bavarian costumes. The multichain necklace (kropfkette) with the coral(?) beads is from southern Germany or Austria. No great age, but I am sure it looks very elegant when worn.[/QUOTE]
