Featured A good hoard day. ;)

Did a bit of hunting.....

The pink bracelet is odd. Under UV, the small round beads glow bright white, the roses don't change. The Hanuman brooch, which has lost its clasp is now made into a pendant. A nice tacky Damascene bracelet and a couple of what I think are Franklin Mint pieces.

Need to find space, now. Oops.

 

Very nice Bear. I love the charm bracelet.

 

Dunno if you noticed but... Your little Toledoware bracelet appears to be missing a charm. The pink bracelet could be mid-1970s as a popular style then.

It is Newari work, from the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. Not Hanuman though, the bottom one is Garuda, with the wings. That makes it likely the top one is Vishnu, although I have seen him described as Shiva.

Does the copper cuff have the Bell or Sunbell mark?

And the loop it was attached to.

 

That locket looks like Swiss "pailletage" according to the name I was given. The tarnished bit with the purple stone could be anything but I'd bet on costume. Check for Bell Trading Post marks on the cuff - I agree with Any there.

 

@Debora - I suspect it had castanets. I do love these little naff souvenirs. I think the pink might be a bit earlier, that sort of off pink was a bit sixties. It was a whole pound, anyhoo.

@Any Jewelry , I ought to have known Garuda. I need to find a little turquoise cab for his missing eye. He's going to be a splendid pendant. He also was a pound. Newari duly noted, thank you!

The cuff just says solid copper, so who knows. Another pound

@evelyb30 - I ought to have posted the backsides.. Both pendants are markedd with 22 carat on silver and I've now cleaned the "amethyst" one, which looks properly gold again. The enamel one actually has full hallmarks, and what I think is the Franklin Mint stamp. Amethyst was three, the other five.

 

Not seeing the wings was just a brain freeze moment I guess.
The missing cab was glass paste, not real turquoise, you may have something similar in one of your 'stuff' boxes. Maybe a bead, the mount will hide most of it anyway.
A pound is a bargain, even these brass and glass ones go for much more.

 

Castanets were my thought too!

@Any Jewelry - I shall go hunt the broken bits that inhabit the Hoard. I really like him: filthy when I got him, but he had a vinegar bath and is now cleaner. Still patinated, I don't like glowy shiny. The Geek did a decent fist of making the pin into a bale, too.

@Debora - has to be castanets, doesn't it, the one missing cliche!

 

That's it!

 

It looks fine the way it is, and the appropriate broken bit will make it perfect.

 

It will indeed!

 

I didn't know FM manufactured in the UK. The locket sure does have a full set of British hallmarks. For a pound..no-brainer! The same for the cuff. A lot of that copper stuff wasn't marked; I have a fair bit only marked "Solid Copper".

Done that before - broken pin stem to pendant bail. I have an anchor pendant that used to be an anchor pin. It came busted, so I busted it some more. A new person can put a new pin stem on if desired. Looks like yours needs a new clasp too.
