[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 405786, member: 51"]I'm still thinking vintage on the scarab, the ceramic scarabs were kind of a 70s or later thing. I think anything older/Czech, Neiger Bros would probably be glass. I am happy to ramble indefinitely about Saphirets so THANK YOU for asking me to say more! (You can tell that I'm marginally obsessed...) I think that they are REALLY hard to find nowadays. Not that people know what they are, but they are kind of rare to begin with. And most thrifts are pulling anything that looks 100 years old in the jewelry department, plus anything vintage and signed which includes the odd 1950s Regency pin which might have rhinestones and the more recent Saphirets. So they never make it to the floor. So the chance of a thrift putting something like that out (if they do any pre-sorting) is close to zero. The one EXCEPTION to that might be a Saphiret rosary.
