Probably has them in her brain! I can all get pretty close to color-matching quilt fabrics from memory, so it's not a far-fetched idea to me.
It's likely do-able. The end that pushes in has a loop on the end, and it should be possible to open it there and add some chain. It's a job for...
Exactly. American jewelry junkies see that oxidation and say 'greenies', but it's not a term I'd expect a Dutch speaker to know.
Carnival glass, I'd call it, 1970s style. The white on the back is a second piece of glass or plastic or something, done to make the glass show...
They think it's older because it's not marked with country of origin for export. The country tag could have been paper. Some post-War West...

bingo! There are lots of makers, or were. I think it's relatively modern but not brand new.
No idea. I bet its highest value would be to a Texan.
They're called estimates, but sometimes they're guesstimates. If the item is rare as could be and there are no comperables, anything can happen....
Jewelry, clothing, etc .. we "do " details! It's all in the details. A lot of makers didn't sign a darned thing and it's only by the details...
It looks familiar, but I'm not sure from where.
The number makes sense; I've seen it before. Tallcakes found a match but we don't know for sure how old it is. I'm guessing 19th century...
The camera caught it; I never even looked for it. 18. to be precise. Not sure what it means, if anything. I'm hoping it's Georgian; I've wanted...
