<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 185626, member: 29&quot;]I can&#039;t find the research I did, but even in the 19th C some Jablonec stones were actually glass, not true garnets. Having said that, the only stone I&#039;m slightly doubtful about is that large centre one in the third brooch. </p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s also interesting is that these were so often set in base metal or brass. Silver is less common and I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen gold. Fashionable but at the time, not expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
