I don&#039;t know if it is actually plated, we need better eyes than mine.</p><p>Since it is brass, the &#039;stones&#039; are likely to be glass. The green ones are glued in, so they are definitely glass. Looks like the amber coloured ones are also glued in.</p><p><br /></p><p>No gargoyles, mythical creatures is fine.

It reminds me of some of the costume jewellery that came out of Venice, except they would usually have some Murano art glass in there too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edited to add the little note on Victorian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
