Featured Some more from that last batch

Wondering when the gold/rhinestone piece may be from? Looks like the pin was replaced. It may even be gold but I’m not super confident in that.

Wondering where/when on the MOP and coral necklace? 60s-70s? The barrel clasp I’m guessing was used a lot then maybe? Also what do you think the little yellow and green beads are? They do look like stone at a glance. I did not look too close so maybe they are glass. I like the yellow a lot.

The gold necklace with coral is funny because I realized it’s actually fake coral. That was the first time I’ve seen fake coral.

Also wondering who the lady is on the non religious cameo? Just a random gal?

 

I like that rhinestone pin. Bet it had a "C" clasp originally. Is the tube part closed on the end that doesn't have a ball? Wondering if it was some sort of nanny brooch or etui brooch.

 

Ooh. I had never heard of a nanny brooch. How cool! I don’t recall it being open. It all be a few days until I have it within grasp again but I’ll surely look. I’d guess c-clasp as well.

 

beads look like glass from here..

 

Something similar. Often these were 9k brooches.

Yes.

One of my faux coral necklaces:

The virgin Mary helmet shell cameo is sweet. Tagging @Bronwen for the period and details.

 

The Virgin Mary cameo's setting also has a mark on the back. I can't make out what it is, though.

The thread on your piece was an interesting read. Quite sure mine are cheaper plastic rather than glass. The mold lines are pretty noticeable once you’re looking for them.

The virgin is pretty nice! Any idea where the MOP one came from in that era? Could be totally irrelevant, just curious.

 

Do you mean the MOP beads in the necklace? Probably the Philippines, a major supplier of MOP.

 

I meant the whole necklace. Wondering where the piece as a whole may have been made.

 

Probably China.
