    Hi everyone,
    I haven't posted much recently and haven't found anything worth sharing.
    Yesterday I found this tiny pendant that puzzles me, and I hoped you guys, will help me. It is about 1 cm in diameter only but IMO, looks too elaborate for its size, and the stone or glass cabochon is also interesting. So what is this, stone or glass, and what age it can be. I assume Czech, as usual. Thank you!!

    Also I would like to ask your opinion on these Murano glass earrings, do you see old ones, as I don't, and they were sold to be as old.
    Thanks a lot for watching!

    I’d think the little pendant is thirties. Might have been part of something else. The clip backs on those earrings and the style suggest fifties or sixties.

    Thank you, OBB! Yes, it will explain the relatively elaborate design compared to its size. What the stone of the little pendant might be, or the glass, do you have any suggestion?
    The earrings looked to me more modern, but I am glad if they are that old. Not old old, of course. I'd assume both are Czech.
    Thanks again!

    The earrings look like glass to me, the clasp looks late 1950s, early 1960s.


    Agreed

    Thank you, antidiem! So the earrings are glass, and it can be assumed they are from 1950s-60s. Thanks again!

    The small pendant is a mystery to me with these white "capillaries" with bluish accents on ochre color. Glass or stone, and if stone, what kind? I'd guess probably some kind of art glass but I am not sure.

    The flower beads on the earrings might be Italian. The rest could be from oh, Germany, the U.K., Czechoslovakia. I think the pendant is glass, yes.

    Thanks, OBB!
    If from 1950s-1960s, due to historical reasons, it is much more probable to be Czech make with Italian components if not all Czech. Here at that time there was no Italian or German, or UK jewelry in the shops while Czech items were sold all around, there was a Czech cultural centre here, and also many people traveled to Czechoslovakia on business and for tourism. There is a small chance to have Western earrings from that time here if these had been bought by some BG diplomat or other high rank official who was among the few allowed to travel to the West at that time.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Very nice, @IvaPan. I also think the earrings are from the 1950s-1960s. The pendant is a mystery to me, and I enjoyed learning from the thoughts of others.

    Thank you, Figtree3! So the earrings are deciphered but the pendant still remains a mystery, except for the period, 1930s.
