<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 57736, member: 29&quot;]The paste set bar is probably French with that trombone clasp. The red white and blue is worth having tested. Looks like an old ruby and a couple of sapphires, probably in silver. You&#039;ve a Toledo Ware brooch too. A very nice haul indeed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I doubt that art glass is Gablonz, it&#039;s most untypical of it. It isn&#039;t foiled: that&#039;s clearer glass with foil behind, whilst this is more of an aventurine technique. For example, Georgian jewellery and some Victorian often had foiled amethysts to accentuate the colour. In other words, a pale amethyst with foil behind it. That centre blue stone has an inclusion of a metallic element, possibly copper in this instance - in other words, aventurine. Might be Venetian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
