Just you. :) It has correct French hallmarks for 800 silver in the middle piece, in the back. Very unlikely they’d be faked. Edit. I think the...
Thanks Kyra! I’ll have it fixed by someone who knows what they are doing.
Thanks AJ, the sparklies are a lot sparklier after I used a bit of rubbing alcohol on them. The French silversmith’s mark is so tiny I need a...
Yes, I saw those butter curls in front of my eyes when we were discussing different butter knife shapes, but somehow butter curls did not go with...
The yellow-orange one in the top row might a day lily or a tiger lily. The blue one in the middle of the top row— a bluebell? The yellow one in...
Thanks coreya! I wouldn’t have known to even ask about laser without this board.
For AJ— please note my great demonstrative aid — the pink paperclip. :-)The camera and the shine of the silver flattens the convexity/fools the...

Thanks Tiguer — I’m in Lisbon now & don’t speak Portuguese so I could explain what I want done so I’ll wait till I’m in Helsinki.
Thanks, AJ. I was reading online that the heat of the solder can crack the stones/gless so do they have to take them out? I was actually just...
Yes, that one! I thought it was earlier since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was deceived by it & he’d been dabbling wit spiritualism etc since the late...
I was trying to clean this lavalier necklace very, very carefully (toothpick and a microfiber cloth and a little silverpolish), but the little...
It reminds me of the old stickers, Glanzbilder in German. They were popular in the fifties or sixties or so. This looks way older to me so maybe...
Ok, here’s the Christie’s Inaba auction with a photo of the mark....
