<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 9758053, member: 51&quot;]I&#039;ve been on the hunt in the last few days for a Moss Agate piece.&nbsp; Someone I know requested a &quot;Moss Agate necklace or earrings&quot; for an upcoming birthday gift idea.&nbsp; She&#039;s not totally into antiques (like I am) but looking around online, it seemed like the more interesting examples of Moss Agate were in older pieces.&nbsp; Had great fun looking at &quot;antique Moss Agate&quot; jewelry on Ebay, it&#039;s something to keep an eye out for based on prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Checked out a few jewelry spots in town, almost nothing.&nbsp; A bead store had one modern (likely made in India) pendant, very milky in color, no translucence and I&#039;m not sure would even be classified as Moss Agate.&nbsp; Even the gem store didn&#039;t have anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just about to give up and went in a consignment store where incredibly I found not a necklace, not earrings, but an older looking brooch! First thing, I&#039;ve never been one to date things by the brooch clasps, but I think here learned that when the pin extends past the edge of the brooch, it suggests Victorian.&nbsp; Do I have that correct for this one?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a tiny loop where this could also be used as a pendant.&nbsp; It&#039;s quite small and I almost wondered if added after the fact.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure this is the final item for the gift but obviously wasn&#039;t passing on it.&nbsp; Worst case I&#039;ll keep it!</p><p><br /></p><p>While I was at the consignment store, wound up getting this bracelet, too.&nbsp; I think Carnelian.&nbsp; So wanted to confirm the brooch is Victorian, and would love to date the bracelet? 1920&#039;s-40&#039;s?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479770[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479771[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479772[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479773[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479774[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479778[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479779[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Curious about anything you can tell me about either piece.&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
