These are all art nouveau with no marks on them I think they may be silver they signed up nicely with silver cleaner but I’m not sure

 

the 1st two have the look of silver castings..........you need a silver test kit !

 

First one is not Art Nouveau.

Second one is Art Nouveau style, can't tell the age. If you can track down the maker from the mark it would help ID it.

The third one is Art Nouveau style, but that pin back is very recent so unlikely vintage Art Nouveau.

A lot of Art Nouveau recast pieces and new pieces in the style were made in the last 40 years or so, they are not vintage Art Nouveau.

 

Looks like they were made sometime after 1970.

 

Seconded. None of the three is period and none are older than the 1980s. At least two look post-2000 to me.

 

Agree with the others - Nouveau in style only, not period pieces. Something bugs me personally about the end tassel on #2, it’s not completely wrong but just doesn’t flow with the rest of the piece. Would expect to see a single oval or teardrop shaped pearl or similar bead there instead. Just my opinion of course.

 

I'm also with the others, post 1970.
The first one is Renaissance Revival. Probably a marriage, with those two spring clasps.

I agree. A pearl dangle would be more appropriate.

As an aside, the stylised rose mark on the second one looks like a Mackintosh rose. No idea which maker uses that.

 

Without markings for silver some of these could very well be made of "nickel silver" or alpacca. Although they don't contain any silver in the alloy, they will "shine up" with silver polish.

 

I agree, it ought to be a pearl, but you never know what a small jewelry outfit will get up to. The one on top probably was done by a "guy in a shed" who knew metal casting but didn't want to deal with jump rings and knew a front clasp was a good idea.

 

The top piece is a little strange,it appears a hole was pierced and the face was soldered into into the hole.

 

Some disco lizard with a soldering gun wanted an *Authentik* VERSASE Neckless to set off his chest fur
