Inherited quite a few pieces of jewelry from my grandmothers estate and these necklaces are old, but I'm not sure if they're Austrian crystal or something else. The first necklace with the chain has a marking of 14k the other two necklaces have no markings. Any help in discovering what I have is appreciated. Thank you ????
Rhinestones, I believe.

"Defined as colorless artificial gems that are made of paste, glass, or gem quartz, rhinestones are usually cut into facets that make them sparkle to imitate diamonds."
The necklace on the far left is made of Aurora Borealis crystals. It is a modern necklace made post-1990, as it has a lobster clasp.
Thank you, now I have two mysteries solved :)
beautiful rhinestone jewelry!
Thank you :)
