Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well these days!!! I myself am trying to get my mojo back and get some things listed. I have been lurking...
I wonder if there used to be fur attached to the suede strips and it just wore off over the years?
A white background might show the color better. Also a pic of the backside would be helpful.
I typically use non-diluted white vinegar to remove/clean verdigris from affected metals. I am going to soak this necklace for a bit to see if it...
This is another of the necklaces from the same lot. Does need some repair work (missing one long bead) but I think I can work something out. I...

@bobsyouruncle, that is a beauty and well worth repairing I think. If you are on FaceBook there is a group called Restore Repair Repurpose...
Yes, I think it's missing 2 stones, one round and one shaped like a leaf or navette. The hinge has me real curious.
