Ack!

 

Lab stones in 14k(?) mens' rings; flux-melt sapphires and rubies started in the Victorian era. They were made for watch innards, and later used in Deco jewelry as a standard. I'd wear either in a heartbeat. The rings could be Victorian all the way up to Victorian Revival.

 

Found in the thrift store today.
Moonstone ring, unmarked. Acid tested 14k when I got home. I guess they thought it was costume.
I paid $18.00
Hah! I know a gold ring when I see one!




Taxco 925 earrings $15.00
Fully marked with workshop number on the back. This shop doesn't know how to check their jewelry.


Small sterling salt spoon, super tiny mark on back, says "Raimond sterling", paid $2.00

 

I have one like the pink one from my godfather who passed in the late 70s

 

Ooh, Georg Jensen -- I can see why he thought a lot of her designs!

Just a little something from Sunday's antique show, $30 sterling, and I think rhodalite garnet ring. I loved the pear-shaped and cushion-cut stones. I have some more pics, some people seemed to have low prices trying to clear things while others jacked theirs way high....

 

I live for this! It's what keeps me going into the thrifts.
Ten times I walk out empty handed. The 11th time I score.

 

Did you buy this garnet ring? The stones almost look like rubellite.
It's magnificent!

 

Yes, it's modeled on my finger, thanks!

 

Provincial Biedermeier/Empire chest of drawers with strong architectural lines rooted in the Empire tradition, yet softened by the restrained simplicity of Biedermeier. Modest and relatively straightforward in construction, but veneered in some of the finest flame birch I have seen in quite some time. The dramatic figuring gives the piece an almost glowing, tiger maple-like appearance. Likely Scandinavian, circa 1840. Purchased for $100.

 

Oh my goodness. Good luck finding flame birch furniture now at any price.
