[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2250510, member: 2844"]Does anyone know which type the glass cabochons mounted on this silver-plated brooch are? At first I thought they were creamy yellow satin glass. But then I saw a blue flash, a bit like saphiret, but the base colour isn't brick red like saphiret. The flash comes and goes and shifts from one place to another as you turn the brooch. The small cab has the flash too, it's base colour is more reddish. The flashes are more blue in real life than on the photos, but I can't capture that. To help with the approx date, the seller thought it was Amsterdam School Arts & Crafts, so 1920s-30s. I don't think it is, it could be a related style and possibly a bit later.
