Two large pendants, each bought for 1 euro. The MOP one I bought at the end of a Queen's Day market some years ago. The amber one is a recent gift from my sister who plucked it from 1 euro basket at a thrift store that otherwise held nothing of interest.
The MOP pendant is marked 925 and features seven pieces of dyed MOP in red, orange, yellow, and green. The other three pieces don't have a strong color, but from the backs I'd say purple, blue, and white. The blue and white one are switched from where I'd expect them, presuming a color wheel arrangement. I do believe I favor the four colored, three white look, because it makes for a more distinct look. This pendant did much to improve my opinion of dyed MOP in jewelry, although I've yet to find something like it.
The amber pendant is marked 835 and features three pieces of (pressed) amber in opaque yellow, translucent orange, and translucent gold. It's a perfectly autumn-invoking design and I love the contrast of opaque and translucent as well as the constrast in shape the pieces create. It's my only modernist amber jewelry and one of my favorites.
