<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eils14, post: 2003647, member: 14776&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m a newbie and have joined because I have been impressed with the fantastic knowledge you all have and I am hoping you will be able to help with identifying some pieces for me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have been asked by a family friend to look at some pieces for her, some of which is jewellery. While I am not great at identifying semi-precious stones, having looked at the pieces I believe all are early plastic, and not the vintage jade she told me they were made from.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first brooch has a floral motif and I am wondering if it is made from perhaps something like celluloid? (sorry for the dirt, not cleaned yet!)</p><p><br /></p><p>The other 2 brooches, which are identical, have been run under hot water and have the bakelite smell! She has pieces from her mother from the 1920&#039;s, so I reckon they date to roughly then. I am just curious though as to why she would have 2 identical brooches? Would they be worn on either side of the collar perhaps? They are quite chunky and measure about 6.7cm by 3.5cm.</p><p><br /></p><p>TIA,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Eils14 </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]247967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]247968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]247969[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]247970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]247971[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]247972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]247973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
