<p>[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 8152149, member: 78949"]Hi guys, today I bought this necklace as it looked to me as made of Czech blue faceted glass, and I liked its lightness and elegance. When back home the stones appear to be natural, as they have inclusions and cracks inside while the surface looks smooth and untouched, although the necklace looks old and the metal has patina. So I recon that these are natural stones, imperfect and cheap, maybe blue quartz or aquamarine. They are about 2 cm wide and are bezel set, no damage on their surface, perfectly smooth under the loupe, the cracks are somehow underneath and also look as there are other materials inside, some brownish stains.</p><p>the style seems as Art Deco and looks Czech to me. Will be very grateful for any thoughts about the stones, the style and age of this necklace. Thank you for looking</p><p>[ATTACH=full]425577[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]425578[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425579[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
