    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to find out about this beaded pendant. Do these beads look like they're made of glass with enamel detailing? The bail is stamped Italy 14k. Is it reasonable to assume the other loops and gold embellishments are also 14k? Also would this be considered rose gold? Any info is very much appreciated!

    Those are Venetian wedding cake beads. The metal on the beads themselves is copper. As to the beading wires ... dunno. It's hard to be sure without testing, and I've seen it go both ways.

    Sorry, missed this question first time through.

    They are glass detailed with other colors/types of glass. The metallic details are aventurine, glass mixed with flecks of copper.
