Featured Finds Thread

the first thing I thought when I saw your post was what a pain the packing would be on it. I'm interested to see your 'how to' post if you don't mind posting it again

 

There is indeed. They left their name off, but the serial number is there. I figured it for circa 1970 based on the design and materials. How to know you're old...

 

@Debora @cxgirl

I will post it again in a separate thread.

Here is a link to the post.

Kitty!

 

thank-you

 

Just a few quick pics. The cameo was $10, I will further clean and oil her. Maybe silverplated.

The aluminum articulated lobster claw earrings were $10, aren't going anywhere.

I was not familiar with this maker, Craft. Seems they made Dynasty-looking jewelry in the 80s and 90s. I think this is a keeper, too.

 

Looks like your cameo has Byne's disease along the left side, follow Cameo Times for how to deal with it:

I have one that had a pretty bad case but was able to take care of it and now she's a beauty

 

The leopard spot necklace is pure late 80s. If Joan Collins didn't have one, she wanted one.

 

Thank you.

 

That was my bad...I couldn't get the tarnish off the metal with any polishing cloth, so I used silver polish paste must have gotten some on the cameo I am soaking her in water overnight. When she dries, I will lightly oil her with mineral oil and dry. It usually works....thanks. Live and learn, sigh.

 

Exactly who I thought of!!!

She doesn't have an original bone in her body, whether copying speeches or jewellery, it is all shameless.

 

I couldn't open the ebay link.

 

Wowzer!


There was a lady in the thrift grabbing jewelry, she left the necklace behind.

 

No. They're no longer openable. But the link provides the item number and you can do a search with that (#266197477127).

There is a trick to it.
When you click on the link, look at the url bar, further to the right you'll see a second https://www.ebay etc. Delete everything in front of that and click, and hey presto, there is your page.

 

From the first wife's company, not the current one - personally would think the same overseas factory produced the necklaces for both companies...

Neat trick! Didn't know that and it works!
