These are some amber and topaz pieces I have acquired. I am still learning how to take good pictures, so some of the pictures do not show the true beauty of the pieces. There is a lot of sparkle and clear, beautiful stones with excellent craftsmanship!

1 amber earrings These amber earrings are one of my favorites! The photo does not do justice to the absolute brilliance of the stones! All stones are prong set and there is no signature. Stunning!
2 amber and topaz screwback earrings These screwback earrings are so lovely with their center stone and surrounding beautiful stones which are all prong set. The center stone has slightly more "orange" color to it. No signature but they speak to the subtle beauty of past days. Simply striking.
3 old topaz necklace I will try to get a closer shot of this necklace as it is amazingly beautiful. The scrollwork on the sides works right into the setting of the center stone. There are two small faux pearls at the top and bottom. Again, no signature, but this is wonderfully fine work! I love this necklace!
4 back of old necklace Isn't this amazing? What artistry!
5 topaz and amber ring This is just a fun ring! Can you see the two flowers? The darker stones are a grayish-green color. The contrast in stone colors is quite interesting!
6 back of amber topaz ring This is the inside of the ring. It must be a newer ring as it shows no wear. Maybe it was just "too much" for the previous owner?! It definitely catches one's attention!
7 topaz and amber rhinestone necklace no signature This demi parure was found in an antique store, hidden away. It is truly awesome. The bracelet has a safety chain and three small amber stones on top of the clasp which slides in. The center stones are dark brown and all surrounding prong set stones are a lighter, amber color. The necklace has the "J" clasp, I think it is called. I will take a picture of the back if anyone is interested as it is all solid metal under every stone. I am not good with metals - still learning - but I believe it is nickel silver. This is a heavier necklace and bracelet, and when it is worn, expect a lot of compliments!
8 teardrop topaz earrings These topaz earrings go perfectly with the previous necklace and bracelet. They are screwback and I love the shape! The prong set stones are gorgeous as you can see dark and light tones in them depending on the light. They are quite elegant!
9 flex bracelet and earrings This bracelet and earring set is also one of my favorites! The colors range from a topaz stone and a small emerald stone to brown, yellow and orange molded plastic. This is a unique and fun demi parure! It makes you smile!
10 flex bracelet A closer look: Notice the scrollwork and filigree work on the end of the bracelet? I just noticed the small clear rhinestone at the bottom. What fun!
11 old amber pin front This pin is 1 inch by a 1/2 inch. The stones are actually lighter - a definite amber color. It's so pretty!
12 old amber pin back It's hard to see, but this pin has the old "C' clasp.
13 amber bracelet, necklace, earrings This set came from St. Joseph, MO. The earrings are not part of the set but go well with it. It is magnificent!
14 amber Mildred's pin The pin in the upper right hand corner belonged to my husband's grandmother. It is lovely, and I wish I knew more about it. The stones in all of these are wonderful.
