    Trying to narrow down some items I purchased. Some of this I don't know what it is because I would not normally buy it, but it was cheap enough... Feel free to add details on them should you know something about any of the bits :)

    #1 A bangle wrapped and accented in sterling silver. I would normally not mess with something like this but it was to cheap to just pass it by. I am not sure what the material is. Suggestions on testing it?

    #2 A victorian era brooch. I've not done any research on this bit.

    #3 A butterfly pendant. I would not normally buy something like this. I am assuming it is on ceramic of some sort glazed and it is wrapped in sterling silver. It was described as a pottery shard.

    Classic shard pendant; they were popular for a long time. Probably still are. The bangle could be bakelite, dunno as it matters really. It looks cool. The Victorian piece looks like that back circle comes off. The space is usually meant to hold a photo, or hair if there's room for a piece of glass.

    Thank you @evelyb30 I was thinking the same thing. I should have the bit in hand Wednesday. Hopefully...
