Message:: [QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 300960, member: 2844"]Costume jewellery can have some value too, good not to dismiss it before the costume joolies have a look.I can only say something about non-costume, so here comes my few cents worth:The first picture could be coral, could be imitation. Some faux coral is made irregular to look like real coral.The stones in the second picture are agates.The 3rd picture could have a few coral beads among the glass beads, but I'd have to see more detail.The necklace in picture 4 looks silver, probably with amber glass.The loose stones, do you see any bubbles on close inspection, preferably with a loupe?The pretty painted glass beads are of the kind used in traditional Indian jewellery. Penang no doubt has an Indian community.The big-bellied Buddha and his two friends are jade, the two beads are Peking glass, don't know about the little cabochons.The picture with the bangle, all jade, except maybe for the kebaya pins, which are adorable. Take them to a jeweler, they could be jade, they could be glass. Whichever they are, they make me greedy.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />The last picture is probably all costume, and again, nice kebaya pins, you lucky girl.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The chain can be fixed in a second. Well, maybe five seconds.[/QUOTE]
