    This found me today. I have been unable to find its like online.

    This brooch consists of 5 carved glass beads one large rectangular bead in the center and two eye-shaped beads on the end with two carved glass roses affixed to the tops of the eye-shaped beads. There are 2 thick silver bars with engraving on them and a small red crystal in the center of the diamond design on those bars. The red bead in the center is approximately 1/8" thick. The brooch is held together by an amber resin. The clasp is simple and sturdy. The barrel (?) and hinge are thin. The brooch measure 2 3/8" long and 1" at its widest point. I love it and I am guessing that it is either French or Czech, but I am probably wrong. Thanks for looking.

      Agree with Gillian, gorgeous! Molded glass like this I have no clue, looks more like carved stone to me. I hope one of the experts here can help. :)

      Could this be cherry Amber. My Mom had a pendant similar to this and that is what was. So hard to tell by photographs. Wish I was there in person to see the amazing treasures posted on this site.

      Wow..........Really flippin Super !!
    8. Emme Emme, 9 years ago
      Hey, alliececile, I wish that this was cherry amber, but it is glass, alas. This site has done nothing but encourage me to go hunting for more treasures.

      I know how you feel, Emme. Looks like you got the antique/vintage hunting disease too:) LOL
      I love the brooch. It looks like candy!
    11. Emme Emme, 9 years ago
      Ha freiheit, after someone suggested it might be amber, I picked it up just to reassure myself that glass was the final verdict. I then smelled the glass, hoping that it smelled like sour cherry candy. It did not.
