Featured Stones Questions

I bought two new pretty pieces to upgrade my costume jewelry travel jewelry. I am unsure about the stones, so I thought I'd ask.

1. WEISS Mark on 16 inch necklace with green stones and accents. My guess is peridot and rhinestone. Is this correct.

2. Kramer 7-inch bracelet. My guess is opalite and rhinestone.








3. My guess is there is a cat in my light box AGAIN!

 

All 3 are very pretty!!

 

I’ll tell Riley you think so.

 

I can confirm that #3 is indeed a cat in a light box, probably your light box.
A very beautiful Siamese, no less. Age guesstimate: First decades of the 21st century. I could be wrong.

 

I think the peridot are also rhinestones. Lovely colour. Opaline glass on the bracelet.

Very fine Siamese.

 

Thank you. I wasn't sure. I suppose that's Riley then. If it is, your age and breed determination are correct. It's a form of warfare keeping her out while I am using it. I should be taking adoring photos of her not some old jewelry.

 

Excellent. I looked up examples online and they said peridot, but you know how sellers are.

From one fine cat lover to another fine cat owner. I thank you.

 

AJ is very apt with her commentary, isn't she?

 

Phew, glad I got that.

She is right of course. Besides it is A BOX! Boxes are cat territory. No matter how small the box, they can squeeze themselves in.

 

Your skills continue to amaze.

That's what she says. I think she is a pest. I removed the bracelet and turned around and there she was. AGAIN!

 

Fabulous pieces and I love the cat in the light box. So cute! Thanks for sharing that pic.

Pretty sure the Weiss would be rhinestones. I don't believe they used gemstones in their jewelry. That said, Weiss pieces are extremely well made and they were a game changer in the costume jewelry world when they came along.

Love that this is your "travel jewelry".

 

I also wear costume when I travel. Which is why another member said I was a snob, just like all Europeans.
I think @Ownedbybear knows who I mean.
So Kiko, you are also a snob, and an honorary European. But we are both much safer that way.

 

I hope to catch you lovely jewel people off guard and make you smile.

After you and OBB said this, I checked more and found that you are right - they used rhinestones in well-made jewelry.

I never take the good stuff with me, but I like fakes that look real.

 

I am energized by your love of jewelry. Thank you for calling me a snob and an honorary European. I don't want to have to lock up my jewelry in a safe, when I'm not in my room. I also want to celebrate the various dinner on tours like the welcome dinner or special occasion dinners with a little style.

 

You're welcome, any time.

Exactly. It simply makes sense.

 

Oh, I know who you meant!

I take costume away as well, the only problem is I'd be as annoyed at losing it as with precious metals. Hey ho!

 

Something tells me they would highly regret trying to get it away from you!!
