GB or SB mark on pendant and is it antique?

I'm confused over this pendant. In some ways it looks newer, in others, it looks older. Any insight is appreciated. thank you in advance!

Resolved! Sterling silver and ??? glass pendant. Your help please

Found this in a lot of jewelry. It is weird it has pinkish bluish stripes running through it. Odd, anyway, any thoughts on whether this is moonstone or some type of art glass. All thoughts are appreciated.

Earring question…newer or older?

Hi all, haven’t posted here for a while. I have a question on these earrings. They kind of remind me of “1928” brand jewelry but these seem vintage. I posted a pair of Haskell earrings last night and these are kind of wired like them so it got me thi...

Enamel Squirrel Brooch

My friend said she saw this brooch in a jewelry book but can't remember which one. It's not in any of my books. Thought I would post it to see if anyone has seen it. The clasp is broken, so if not in a book it goes into the junk lot.

Mark on a vintage (Czech?) brass ring

Does anyone recognize this mark or know what it stands for? I believe this is a vintage Czech glass and brass ring. Unmarked other than the X shape. Looks Art Deco. Any thoughts? Thank you

Is this festoon necklace worth saving/restoring? Lots of verdigris.

It must have been a beauty in it's day, but not so much now. There's verdigris in-between each bead and on the caps. Worth saving, and how would one go about getting rid of the verdigris, if at all possible. Thanks.
