<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 3774905, member: 210"]Supposedly these were the dealer's grandmother's jewelry. The blue necklace is open-backed, and the chain is not original. I spent two hours redoing one of the links because it was caked with vintage glue that looked like rust.....I reglued the stone with Epoxy 6000 because one of the prongs was broken off. I will replace the chain with something vintage, base metal. What time frame do you see? I was thinking 1920s-1930s. Czech? Pot metal? Any name for the design the stones are set in? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]315613[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]315614[/ATTACH] </p><p>Next, grandmom's bracelet, which is surely a glass amethyst-colored stone set in a goldtone base metal. Victorian? I know there are some links missing on the one side, but it fits me perfectly. Souvenir bracelet? Was $35 each a good price, in your opinion? Would you take the necklace shorter drops and make matching earrings? Thanks for any information and your thoughts. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]315615[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
