<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 463844, member: 5833"]'Angel skin' is a color, not a type of coral. I would call this extremely pretty swag necklace angel skin coral, but where you draw the line is subjective. The coral rose cluster earrings I would not call angel skin. The necklace is a sure fire seller, IMO. Question will be whether it can be snagged for an acceptable price. Screw back earrings are a hard sell, unless they are readily convertible, which these would be if willing to lose the lone rose at the top.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It's the right type of belcher chain to be the same piece, although I think it would not have been the original clasp. That one looks more like the sort of clip one sees on watch chains, etc. The necklace almost has a Georgian look to it, but probably not quite so old. Victorian in age, not just appearance, to my eye; we'll see what others say.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don't bother with the cameo stick pin unless it's very cheap & you want it for yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>The cameo of <a href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/hebe-and-eagle" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/hebe-and-eagle" rel="nofollow">Hebe & the Eagle</a> looks really promising.
