Buttons/Jewelry

[Andy4707]

Today while digging i found a couple shell bottons, are they worth anything? I also found a piece of jewelry not sure if it is a piece of a necklace, any info or value would be helpful. Here is a pic.

The two buttons on the left are made out of mother of pearl, a type of shell material which can be worth something. The one on the right looks like a type of stone or something, could be valueble, nice finds!

If I remember correctly me and Andy thought that the stone might be plastic, but were not sure.
Andy I have an idea to get value/age of the stone (if it is a stone and not plastic) Bring it to a jeweler somewhere around you.

Touch the stone to your teeth- You'll know the difference. The setting looks like silver DON'T CLEAN IT. This will destroy any collector value.

It is stone

What kind of stone would it be?

If you can post a picture of the stone in better light and a view of the back of the mounting I might be able to give you guess. Or just stop by a mineral/gem shop or jewelers and they could probably give you an ID on the stone. If it is not glass their are several other dark blue stones used in jewelry.
