What does the pink stone test at? It looks too transparent for rose quartz,WAG would be tourmaline or pink beryl.The photos have too much reflection to see the stones well.
As far as the stones being removed without damage to the bezels,any half experienced gem setter could do it easily.

Hollyblue, the pink stone does test in the tourmaline range so maybe that's it.
Thank you.

I sold a ring this past weekend that had pink tourmaline, it's a lovely stone. I was struck by how bright it is!

Marie, yes, pink tourmaline is a very pretty stone. This cabochon is more of a 'rough' example with natural inclusions.
Ev, I know ! In one of my pictures it looks like a pearl but it's really a translucent moon stone. There is some slight variations in the color within the stones of the amethyst and citrine, not sure if they are natural or synthetic.
The sisters made jewelry in sterling and gold and liked to use moonstones, amethyst, rock crystal, diamonds and aquamarine, although most of what you find is typically plain sterling in highly detailed designs.
Beautiful stuff !
