Need help with this set

Hello,  I have no clue on this set.  It belonged to my grandmother, so I think it is fairly old.  What type of stone is this?  Yellow Jade, maybe??  It does not feel like plastic.   There are no markings of any kind, so I am pretty sure it's not gold.   Brass, perhaps?  What style would you call this?  Art Deco?  Any help would be appreciated!   Thank you!   Lisa

Egg yolk amber? Just a guess. Or maybe art glass?

It looks like glass to me. Does it feel cold or warm on your cheek? Tap it on your teeth as well as with a piece of glass and a piece of plastic, which does it feel like?

 

Can you show a closeup of the front and back of one of the pieces of stone?

 

Beautiful set!

It looks like satin glass to me too.

It is definitely not plastic.  Could be glass.  It definitely has some weight to it and feels cool to touch it, so it's either a stone of some type or glass.  Here is a close up picture of the stone.  Thanks for your help!!

If you see air bubbles in the stones, then they are glass.  This looks like some of the pieces coming out of West Germany during the 50s-60s, time frame, to me.

Thanks everyone for the help!  I think you are correct, I think it's milk glass.  I appreciate the info!    Lisa

I didn't see anyone mention Milk glass. Milk glass does not have a satin finish, it is a flat matte color like milk not softened butter.

To research try keywords "Czech Yellow Satin Glass Filigree Necklace"

 

If the chain part of the necklace is original then I agree with Sandy about the time but if it looks replaced I think it is possible this set could be pre-WW2.

I would NOT call this milk glass. SATIN glass would be the correct term, IMO. Very pretty set.

The earrings are screw backs though.  Wouldn't that make it older??
