<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 3004396, member: 5398"]I have a few questions on the 3 brooches below and would be most grateful for any information the jewelry experts could provide. I've done some research and am wondering if (a) they're all 1920s-30s made in China for export, (b) what the bronze-like nuggets might be made of in #1 (they look kind of like tarnished copper with silver plating that's wearing off), (c) whether the amber stone in #2 is Baltic amber (it fluoresces), and (d) what are the correct terms to use for #2 and #3 (filigree wire work?, cannetille?)[ATTACH=full]289377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289379[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289380[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289381[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289382[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
