Need Help With Some Funky Vintage Costume Jewelry

[bdsawyer]

I got a large box lot of costume jewelry at an estate auction, much of it was signed and identifiable. These two pieces really caught my eye, and was hoping someone may be able to identify them. Both are sets with a necklace, bracelet, and earrings. No markings on any clasp or anywhere else. The blue glass beaded necklace is about 12" long as it sits, and the choker necklace is about 5" in diameter.

1st item is a Venetian glass piece... IMO... OR Bohemia glass.
Second is a milk glass piece... IF it is glass... Lightly touch white parts to teeth after cleaning to see if feel is soft or hard glass sound.

If not sure... "hot pin test" is next...
Pick an area not visible of test later...
heat a safty pin sharp end... till red then touch and push... if slides off - glass.
If "sinks in" - plastic.

PS> It MAY be a "Bohemia Glass" necklace...
The smaller beads appear to be foil beads in pics.
Nice necklace btw.

Thanks AARC, the gold colored piece is definitely plastic. I will do some looking at Venetian Glass necklaces to see if anything similar comes up.
