    My wife purchased this old Bohemian Necklace and Earrings set while on a recent trip and has decided to sell it online. I suggested that she should clean it with brass polish (at least the elaborate chain part) and she is worried that it will damage the tiny pearls and stones (glass?) and claims it should be sold as is. How old is this set and are the cut warriors green stones, glass? You see this design on old rings. There are a few missing seed pearls on the pendant and one on an earring. To clean or not to clean is my question? RER

      It seems bright from the pics, so I think your wife is right! Let the cleaning to the buyer and tell it in description. Plus the pearls risk damage.
      Some sellers in old jewelry do harsh cleaning and remove all patina so items look new...

      Thanks kyratango! You are probably right....and I'd probably make a mess of it. Now I have to tell my wife she was right and I was wrong. Good thing it doesn't happen too often....lol
