[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3709938, member: 8708"]Purchased on eBay for the grand sum of £2.99. Glass and brass. It was covered in old glue so I’ve removed all that and polished. I don’t know if the black stuff on the back was paint of some sort of just tarnish but it was flaking off nastily so I’ve removed most of it. It had a slight bend that I’ve managed to straighten out as much as I dare and now just needs attention to the C clasp. The photos make it look horribly shiny now as I really struggled to get photos with the glare. It is shiny but will hopefully tone down with a little time. So my question is- what gems would be suitable for this period brooch to replace the missing ones?. More turquoise glass?, not sure if I will find matching. It’s also missing a dangle- Pearl?, turquoise? Coloured glass? Round? Pear shaped?. I’ve got lots of cabs and dangles to choose from, hopefully something the right size!.
