<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nastina.nastea, post: 9825271, member: 81895&quot;]Hi dear Members,</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my latest purchase, it&#039;s a small (2,3cm x 2cm) crescent moon brooch with very sparkling stones.</p><p>The brooch is made in silver and the clasp was replaced at some point (back looks a bit messy). There is no any hallmark, I guess was lost with original clasp.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I assume the stones are paste, however there are few questions regarding them:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The blue stones have different colour shades - is it normal for paste?</p><p>2. The clear stones have some dark inclusions inside, some of them are larger than another, and one stone is almost clear (I looked at them under magnifying glass) - could it be that it was used glass with inclusions? And why would they use glass with inclusions?</p><p>3. Do paste stones react to the UV light?</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, I would be thankful for all opinions))[ATTACH=full]489864[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]489860[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489863[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
