Help with vintage parure

[wessleysbest]

Would like to list this vintage set but don't have a name for the opalescent glass cabs/stones.  I don't think they are givre.  I would also like a name for the color of the stones; something more exciting than vanilla.  Your help is so appreciated.  Thanks.

If you`re trying to attach your photo..that feature is not working. Gonna have to grab pic from your puter & post it that way

Yup, the option is messed up.

To post pictures use Photos Option on the Rich Text Tab above the Message Window.

This page is helpful with Specialty and Bi-Color Stones.

Looking close at your stones I am seeing more of a Satin Glass. Not the frosted kind the older type that looks like flowing fabric. Some though show clear with Satin inclusions, those I would call Givré.

Thanks for the great resources.  They must be satin glass, although because they are cup set I can't see if they are at all transparent.  The light moves in them (like a sapphire) when moved.    Any suggestions for color description - blonde?

Champagne sounds good. Using more than one similar colour might help draw potential Buyers. To bad Ivory can't be used.

It's a gorgeous and well made looking set.  Nothing written in small letters on the necklace hook by any chance? Would think this must have been from some designer.   Really striking.  (I noticed one rhinestone missing on the necklace, you've probably spotted that.)

I've also seen this kind of stone called "moonstone" but not sure how accurate.

Also I thinking that "champagne" would be a nice way to describe the color.  Very pretty!

Thanks to all.... moonstone is the term I had been racking my brain to remember.   Some are calling this "lemon ice" regarding the color.   I'm listing today, so wish me luck.  Thanks again!
