    I would really like to wear these earrings during the Holiday's
    So beautiful in person. But sadly Missing one of the clear stones :(
    My stepson said he could fix it.
    My question is..what type of stone should I buy and where can I purchase? Online?

    Don't recall where I got these
    There is a GWS mark on back. Glass Works Studio which is now called "Anne Koplik"
    Designer Anne Koplik

    Green stones look to be glass.
    Just under 3.5 inches long.

    Pic#4-cell phone decided to focus on reflection in one of the large green stones...it's a tree.

      Those earrings are beautiful. Maybe bring the one along with you and check thrift shops/flea market for costume jewelry which may have the same kind of glass stone. That's what I do when I need replacement stones.
      You would need to know the exact size in order to buy such a replacement stone online.

      I wonder if it should be foiled..
      I have some costume jewelry I need to look through for a replacement stone.
      Hopefully there is something in there already broken with what I need...
    3. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      A craft store is another good idea. I don't really have any near me, so didn't think about it.
    4. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      It's just one stone and the back side of the area is closed, so I don't really think it would matter if the stone was foiled or not. Nobody would ever notice.

      Oh Jeeeez digging through this costume jewelry is going to lead to a lot of post from me....lmao
      I need to take a class in jewelry making so I can fix some of those stuff.

      Think these are from the 80's

      Melanie - Glad you solved the mystery of the maker. I have repaired marcasite jewelry that had missing stones. I cleaned the spot where the new stone would be placed (used a cotton bud), put a tiny drop of super glue into the setting using the point of a toothpick and then carefully placed the new stone. Once the new stone is replaced in your earring, it should stay there forever. :-)

      These are so pretty. I'm sure you will find one to fit. Don't use super glue though. Use E6000. You can find that at any craft store (sorry, you can find that here anyway) and a package with a few small tubes is best since you may not use it often. In the small tubes it will last. If you buy a large tube, it will dry out over time if you don't use it. This stuff works so well with a lot of things and won't ruin your jewelry. Just use a toothpick to get some out of the tube, much easier that way with few, if any, mishaps.

      Thank you for the info on E6000
      I'm sure I can get some at Michael's
      I would hate to ruin these by using the wrong glue...
