They definitely look like vintage pieces. Have you ever had them appraised?

Thanks for sharing!

I've not had them appraised. There aren't any precious stones. The Art Deco bow is Sterling silver with glass or paste gems. I'm guessing it was made during the 1920s or '30s. The butterfly brooch is jade with coral.

You're welcome!

from a grandfather, cufflinks, tie clips, with semiprecious stones that he picked up while stationed in Korea.

He was an engineer, building runways for the war. He later became the head engineer for Nordstroms supervising construction of their new stores on the west coast.
