Vintage Bracelet and Brooches help

Happy New Year All! Smiley LOL

Dipping my toe back in with listing a few jewelry pieces. Any info on maker ID's, descriptions and age greatly appreciated. Thank you much. The photo loader(s) are acting up today, so here goes.

That lovely bracelet probably dates to around 1890s to 1910. Any markings?

It probably has a gold-filled mark and a glass stone. The pins are 50s and 60s by nobody in particular.

Thank you, I love seeing your ID. Arlene was my mother's name. Searched for marks a few different times with magnification but don't see any.

Thanks evelyb, your input is appreciated. What would a gold filled mark look like? Have a few more older pieces that are probably gold filled too.

Wondering what to call the middle piece on the right brooch. If it's glass or a stone?

I`d refer to it as an Art Glass Cabochon...looks kinda like caramel in color .

Gold-filled is generally marked 1/20 12 or 14 KGF, if it's marked at all. A lot of it isn't; you have to know it when you see it.  A lot is "marked" by the brass peeping through at the edges.

I love this bracelet! Given it's likely age, I'd suggest measuring and including the size in your description (it's likely on the small side so you'd want to be sure buyer isn't disappointed).

Aren't cabochons defined as unfaceted?

The middle piece in the right brooch is not faceted. @1940 was answering my question of what to call it.

Not sure but the Bracelet might have had a safety strap inside the hollow parts. If so, that might have been where it was marked.

Yes! I saw the one end with the hole and remembered seeing something like the example you posted. Strap might not be correct term but was what came to mind.

Possible "strap" makes sense Thanks so much everyone!
