[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 1417304, member: 51"]Thanks. I'm just going through some older jewelry for a possible sale and I think this will be sold as a craft/repair piece. I'll ask my happy price, but would be hard to find that one missing stone. What is interesting about the foil stone that seems to be a replacement ... on the top it is a dead ringer for the others which have a fairly complicated set of facets. Almost wondered if during manufacturing they changed sources on the stones and had to use one foiled one. In the hand you cannot see any difference in color, but in the photos could, just a bit. (Good eye, OBB.) I think the hue is slightly impacted by the fact that it is closed on the back with the foil. No huge matter either way, whether that one was original or not, this has other issues. Agree with dating and that it had been a replaced dress clip. KSW, for your question, I think a combination of glue and set. There are two prongs holding the green stones, whether they were also glued, cannot tell. Friends, I have another piece right along these lines with a question. Going to post now. Thank you.[/QUOTE]
