    Found these three pieces today. Perhaps the white metal brooch was a mistake. The stone in the ring has a blue veil when it catches the light. Not sure if it's opal or something else, moonstone perhaps?. It has 925 on the inside of the shank.

    Yes someone has done a rough glue job on your filigree brooch.
    Think the top ring stone is Labradorite, the other ring a glass mosaic souvenir from Italy. Wait for others though about the Labradorite:)

    Okay thanks. I'm not well up on my stones and do struggle. Most of the stones people mention on here I've never heard of. The repair looks like epoxy which might come off with hot water. I thought it was the original clasp stuck back on but it's not, so scrap value really if it actually is silver

    Labradorite would also be my guess for the ring.

    Another vote for labradorite
    The filigree is probably 800ish silver, missing a stone or enamel inlay in the centre. The pin looks steel to me.

    I suspect this was a Persian brooch, with a painted Isfahan minakari enamel plaque in the centre. Probably of two birdies, symbol of paradise, which is what small Isfahan enamels usually depict.

    Okay thanks. Certainly looks like silver and may well have a mark under the gloopy poop.

    Or not.;) Filigree isn't always marked.
