Amber colored bead necklace w cloissone fish

Hi, I have this necklace, and it's not quite as reddish as is looking on my screen, but I am trying to id these beads. Google says real amber beads will glow under blacklight, and these don't. They are not plastic, I thought when I bought this they w...

Monet Dangle Clip Earrings but I can't find them help please

I have looked into every book I have and searched on line I have a headache, and I am hoping someone might recognize these. They are stamped Monet and Pat (I am assuming patent pending). These puppies are heaving in my opinion and weigh about 12 gram...

Large Art Deco Inspired bracelet has me puzzled

Found this at my thrift today and I'm trying to understand it. It's an irony in that it has what appears to be real rubies but it's marked 925. Also, it doesn't seem to be too old because it has no signs of wear or tarnish - but I also can't find a s...

Any guesses on who made this?

Hello e1,This appears to be very well made. I think rhodium plated and the odd shaped glass stones give it a killer look. I have looked all over and cannot find anything on it. Image search turned up nothing for me. Is there a name for these shaped ...

What would you call the color on the stones in this set?

Just orange (although they have flashes of yellow when the light hits) and moonstone glass on the opaque ones (which have a satiny look). Thanks for looking and any opinions.

Can you help identify the maker of this bracelet?

Just a heads up.https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/best-bangle-bracelets

Anyone know my Daddy? It's signed but whodunnit?

museum replica, but???? She's on the alert, whoever she is! The figure looks like a female gryphon and the dangle is a locket. The serial number on the back says A 090 and the maker's mark looks like a cojoined W and H with a B Co.(mpany) under it. I...
