[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 97519, member: 106"]I bought a whole bag of costume jewelry because: 1) it had lots of sparkly bits inside and I'm attracted to sparkly things :) and 2) this bracelet was calling to me from inside the tangle of other vintage pieces. I thought it was labradorite stones - couldn't get a good look and NOT supposed to open bag - but when I got it home, I noticed that one of the "stones" has an air bubble ... so much for it being an actual stone. Also noticed one "stone" is missing :( Anyhow .... I can tell that it is old ... antique even. The rhinestones have an odd "glow" about them and usually have a greenish hue but at a certain angle they look almost peach colored. These seem familiar but I cannot find a good resource for researching old rhinestones. Can anyone help with their ID and possible age (pre-1900?)?
