Thanks Alicia,
You are thorough as always

Hi Kim,
BB could be Bastian Bros
This site is giving me trouble, (see my JR email)
Carolyn
sorry can not tell you any more than I have but, I would guess the beads to be glass, Try doing a Google image search..There were many co's who did similar brooches
do you have pics of the back, and possibly some more closer pics, I would suggest posting it to the jewelry group, but from the pic it appears to be 1950's Victorian Revival costume jewelry, . try researching "Florenza" for the style etc.
A small addition..the case appears to be unmarked gold..I would have that tested also
I gotta get moving here...Alicia you always beat me to the replys..LOL

- Thanks for all the great information. I love the 1930's and 40's. Kenneth Jay Lane, Panetta, Ciner and Chanel is part of what I collect and sell.

Thanks so much for the site, whenever I try and google something I always end up finding the craziest things that have nothing to do with what I intended, so thank you for sending them to me! It saved me from a couple of asprins! And thank you for the lovely comment on the cameo! It makes me want to hurry on over to my jeweler and have him fix it! Thanks so much Carolyn!

- Hi Carolyn,
I can't thank you enough for your input on my question! And for those two sites, they were full of good information. Especially the dating references! I had a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind (your always just full of jewelry inf0!). I had no idea that the gold was from a backing, I couldn't find more information on this though. Did a lot of cameos have this? And are all hard stone cameos carved, or are some "machine-made"? I saw that one of the websites referring to Cameos Old and New - many people have recommended this to me, I'll have to snatch it up! Then I can (perhaps) stop pestering! Haha, thanks again Carolyn :)

- Hi Carolyn! Thank you so much for taking the time to find those boxes and to take those great photos! I think my favorite has to be the square one, I love everything about it! And does it have leafy / flowery details on top? Because that would be great since my piece has leaves! It is gorgeous all around. How much would you sell this lovely piece for? I would love to purchase it!

- Hi Carolyn,
Thank you! I appreciate your help so much! I think that's great that you didn't even try for a collection! I absolutely love those old ring boxes - they seem to be all I can find lately and they're just beautiful! I only have a class ring and an old baby ring and neither would really be as pretty as those darling boxes - so much character. I love your jewelry pictures by the way - I love all of the variety! I especially love the lavelier! Very pretty. Thanks again, Carolyn - I hope you have a fantastic weekend! I know I'll have something to look forward to!

- Hi there, thank you so much Carolyn! That is so very nice of you - thanks so much for your time. I like the ones with indents but I'm not sure if anything would be near to the size of my locket - so I think probably a flat one. The locket I have is also in my pictures - http://iantiqueonline.ning.com/photo/victorian-enamel-leaf-design?context=user - It's about 2.5 inches by 1 inch. Let me know if you need any more info. My budget is unfortunately a little sad, it's "around" $20. But of course it could stretch - I don't really know the prices of these old boxes so my budget is also a little flaky - haha. I just buy too many shiny things! Thanks again for all of your help! I bet you have a great collection!

- Hi Carolyn, thanks so much for your reply! Yes the hinged boxes that were once original to a specific piece of jewelry. Is that the collection you have? If you're selling - or if you're not , I'd love to find out more! I've been searching on the internet for some but I haven't found the exact name/term they go by - which makes the search more difficult! Thanks again! :)

Oralei/bronzedrooster said… - Thanks for the offer. Fairly large mother oats piece. I believe it was a litho. One of my favorites.
