Subject:Need information on jade? necklace
Posted By: George E Sat, Sep 19, 2015 IP: 24.190.84.18 I bought this at an estate sale. The touch feels like real stones but I have no experience in jewelry. Any comment is greatly appreciated. |
Subject:Fashion jewelry from the late 70s-80s
Posted By: beadiste Mon, Sep 21, 2015 Once US trade with China was resumed in the early 1970s, designers flocked to obtain components, as Chinese-themed jewelry was all the rage. |
Subject:Whoops, wrong on the tassel style
Posted By: beadiste Tue, Sep 22, 2015 More recent than 1970s, not Les Bernard. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Tue, Sep 22, 2015 The light color pendants are either Jade or Serpentine. Scratch test will tell. take a strong needle,use enough pressure to make as 2-3 mm scratch. Then tell us if the tiny scratch is white or black. or do you see some wax come off. |

Subject:Clasp post-1990s, likely
Posted By: beadiste Fri, Sep 25, 2015 Designers who produce a complete line of course usually mark their work, often on the clasp. So I was curious to see the style of the clasp, and if it matched those of any designers I'm familiar with. |

Posted By: George E Sat, Sep 26, 2015 Thanks Ernest and beadiste for the info. Chinese jewelry is such a mystery to me. |
