Featured green bead necklace and gilt brass ?earrings

hi folks, just a few pieces i found the other day

both cheap so doesnt matter if junky

i was kinda hoping the beads might be some kind of jade ?

i tested them on the guys stall, with a fork he was selling

tested them at home as well, steel leaves a residue, but no scratch

clasp broke off while looking at them

thinking the earrings might be a christian fish type

any thoughts appreciated

 

Hum... Irregular shape plus bubbles in the green beads... Glass
The earrings are indeed fish shaped, but not sure if pagan or christian

 

Could the little clasp be gold?

 

Thank kyra, they were a bit to good to be true !

 

Not sure ksw, no marks I can see, will give it a clean and have a good looky

 

I'm with kyra, the beads are glass. Nice old necklace. Antique/old gold clasps aren't always marked.
The earrings are generic fish shapes, made by a craftsperson who likes fish. I don't know if they are comfortable, with the hooks in that position.

 

thanks Aj, i think ill keep the clasp for something else, and maybe turn the beads into a bracelet as i like the colour, and its to small for me neck

 

Moonglow glass beads. I bet those earrings are Peruvian or similar and made from alpaca.

 

thanks for the info obb, moonglow describes the colour brilliantly

 

Most welcome. Moonglow beads are often plastic, but yours are nice glass.
