<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 2932081, member: 51"]Not a recent purchase, these were from a sale (....ahhh to go back in time 15 years ago, this is the <u>one</u> sale I would go to...). Former owner had been a socialite in town and the estate sale had SEVEN (7!) full long tables of unique vintage jewelry. If only I knew then what I know now! I had some knowledge of costume jewelry, but still. Things weren't totally inexpensive, but in hindsight... I remember getting several things, actually more non-jewelry items, much already sold, but for some reason held on to this set. Never actually wore it all these years and finally it is time to list, 15 years later!</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason I am thinking Czech (??) even though it doesn't totally remind me of other pieces I have. Thoughts on age...maybe 40s? 20s? Necklace is 17" long.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's quite beautiful in the hand. Those are tiny marcasite centers in the flowers. I'm guessing the yellow stone is glass, setting is open in the back. Also I do not believe that the metal is gold. No markings. Thoughts? Thanks for taking a look.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]286910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]286911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]286912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]286913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]286914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]286915[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
