I'd vote for putting them in a museum too, where they can be seen. They're a piece of history, a tangible part most often collected in the USA by...
Just a junky diamond tester, but it needs a fresh 9-volt.
I've seen bracelets before, but never a necklace. Someone took off the gold-filled bracelets for scrap, and found a use for the watches. Good idea!
Thanks. Creamed spinach was never one of the hot colors, but $10 for a bangle of that heft was a good deal.
Bedarned .. I may actually have gotten jade for serpentine prices this time!
I don't see serpentine either. I may have to break out the diamond tester and see if it can read it. It's none too bright.
CKL 1970? Beyond that, you've got me.
Cute. The doll has had a better time of it than the real Caroline did. (first her father and uncle, then her brother, and then her...
Simple if I knew it... can't apologize for telling the truth or posting a requested photograph. I'm on the Spectrum, so if there's something I'm...
Besides, I couldn't run off a house spider IRL. :chicken::chicken::chicken: (and wouldn't anyway; I like things that eat bugs.)

In the design books they showed "Dad" grilling steaks over a wood fire in that thing. I bet that was only in the design books, because if you did...
Yup. I hope he gets luckier than I ever did. A local overpriced charity thrift had a little solid red ginbari vase for sale today. It was 25%...
Oooh purdy. Emerald and diamond? I'd give it house room. Green diamonds tend to be mint-ish instead of grassy.
THe thing your son is sitting on is what I saw in old MCM decorator books in the 90s and kind of wanted. Wanting said books made my mother look at...
Looks like one from here, bare eyes on computer screen. No idea what's in the diamond.
It'll have to wait for real daylight. Today was dark and rainy, and now is just dark. Brain fart: the set is 80s Chinese enamel. The ginbari is...
It's worth looking at, just in case it was something significant.
That's up to you to decide. Do your research and act accordingly. I'm still sitting on a beautiful ginbari set that I couldn't sell for the cost...
