Hattie Carnegie Brooch ~ What type of "stone" is this?

by Shirley
(Roanoke, VA)

This brooch is signed Hattie Carnegie. I've seen this type of center stone in other costume jewelry but don't know what it is actually called or what gemstone if any it is supposed to resemble.

Can you tell me what this "stone" is called and what it is? It looks like some kind of foil or gold leaf was used.

Also, can you tell me anything about this particular brooch?

Thank you!

Hattie Carnegie very early HC mark necklace

by Karen
(MA. USA)

Hello, I have this huge gorgeous rhinestone necklace with an early pre-WW2 mark on the clasp. I am trying to determine if the clasp is a replacement or not. The necklace definitely dates to late 30'-early 40's as does this clasp but I'd like opinions if they are original.
I was wondering about the clasp being oval white the other stones are octagon but the flow of the necklace looks better with an oval clasp. There is alot of wear to the finish but the wash and base metal seem to match I have researched everywhere but can't even find a clasp like this to compare. Thank you for any help.
