Wow. I would have bet on that one, too. The frame is spectacular on it's own and screams gold. Stunning carving. Well purchased.
It looks great in there!
Dang, those are nice! Kind of thing that doesn't turn up here often.
Follow-up. Just as an experiment tried soaking these in water. No success. Then DH said try, "acetone". Since we didn't care about the cameos...
Thanks, guys. :) I love owls, too. I wonder if there is some significance with the New Year and owls?
Found this for $5, the glass is a little scuffy on the top so not sure how valuable for resale, but it is seasonal at least. Any idea when it was...
I'm pretty comfortable thinking this could be 1940s, but here are more photos of the clasp, and hook. The clasp has one of the stopper things...
That is a stunner!
Sort of half and half. It is not a totally closed loop. It's open at the top but only barely open. The mystery continues. I wondered about it...
Quite the find. Especially from another dealer for that amount! Well done!

Thanks, Bear. Not the greatest shot of the hinge, but one photo I had handy. [ATTACH] The pearls appear to be chopped in half. Would they do...
Crazy find, I didn't even realize what I had until I got home and saw the 14K. Possible something is missing here, there is a loop for a dangle...
I'm sure they are getting a lot of attention. Wow. Thanks for sharing!
I've also never heard of Birch Bark Biting. Video was really good, can see why you were thrilled to get this example! Thanks for sharing. :)
The clutches on these were that cheap kind. The clear harder plastic circles with metal in the middle. So obviously replaced.
If I can get the cameos out intact, I'll save them for sure. I wouldn't normally scrap the gold on something like this, but one of the pedals...
So I almost didn't buy these because the cameos looked newer. And my close up glasses aren't working, so I was going blind on markings. Broken...
That ring screams quality. Beautiful and congratulations on your engagement.
Wow, very similar. Not sure about the filling in the strawberries... they seem like they might have that kind of filling but they seem a little...
