[HPFGU-OTChatter] Jewelry from Israel question

[Amanda Lewanski]

Wow, yael, you really came through! I know the pendant's in one of my
many boxes of jewelry, but there's a lot of it because I've been in my
medieval group so long that I have zillions of strings of garnets,
tigereye, down to lots of cheap little beads that just look neat--people
give them as gifts, etc. Plus you have the costume stuff that was my
Mom's. I just can't remember which box it's in. I don't even remember
where all the boxes are (we finished a room in our house, and all the
stuff that had been stored there while it was unfinished is still piled
in the garage in no particular order).

Is there a name for this type of inset? Does she know what the materials
are? I don't think the clear part is crystal, but I'm not sure it's a
real hard polymer of some kind, either.

Thanks again,

Amanda
