Flea market finds. The screwback earrings are german.
The beads - surely they have seen some years? I plan to do something new with these, maybe a nice necklace, not sure yet... Do you have some idea?
What made my day are the bangles - they are very wearable! They were 50 cents each. I would like to hear your opinion on them - is it possible to determine their age?
They are not bakelite.
The faceted orange one is pretty heavy, I would say plastic, not glass, but the plastic has a nice, satin look. I would say old, but I am not sure how old. The brass center has some age to it as well.
The multi-colored one is very nice as well, pretty swirls. Does not weigh much.
Thank you for your opinion!
The beads are pretty but I haven't a clue what sort they are.
The one bangle looks like Agate. I think your red and brass bangle could be Lucite. Also really pretty! Are the earrings silver? Also pretty.
Thank you Efesgirl!
That bangle is from plastic, it weights not much and has this plastic feeling. Pretty though, I agree!
The red / orange one - could be - thank you a lot!
As for the earrings - not sure now, but I would say pewter. I will check later. A set that is very similar can be found here:

Thank you valentino97! So interesting - thank you a lot!! Yep, your bracelet is similar! I hope I will find more of this stuff - yours is great... I like the "pneu" design + the red!
Ah, tire tread - sorry, my english - I worked in automotive industry years ago and term "pneu" was widely used, but that was german-speaking environment :DDD. The design of your bracelet is awesome anyway!
The more you speak about them, then more interested I am in them - but I liked the bangles before I posted my post! Dont worry, I hold to my jewelry collection. Maybe I will sell it - one day - not now!! Too attached to it! Muahaha.
