The actual clasp on the piece is an earlier type of safety device, in my experience at high risk of coming open on its own. Someone has taken the...
Sorry, no. What is it? Should warn you I do not have television in any form other than the membership privilege of watching the PBS offerings of...
Agree with Fig that angles & aging make comparison tricky, but I have no difficulty at all in seeing that as the same nose in both pix. As,...
Thank you for all the attention & thought you have given my little mystery. (And thanks again to the many who also gave me the benefit of their...
Unusual piece. You don't see that many true cameos cut in MOP; more often etched.
If this is a tourist guide, it would need to be updated periodically. The one with the streamlined title just looks like a later edition.

FB is another modern invention I have evaded. Looked into it once & felt they wanted more info about me than I was willing to give them. Are...

How big? I see boxes with this sort of construction meant to sit on a dresser top & hold gloves or collars. Not sure what the specialty purpose...
Wish I could hold a yard sale, instead of having to face up to the necessity of selling on line & having to pack & ship. But, despite all the...
The fob seal is probably brass & the red eyes likely to be glass. A UV light could tell you if they are actually ruby. Bakers is correct that it...
On my monitor the stones have a purpleish tint, but if they are brown, smoky quartz (sometimes misnamed smoky topaz) would be the obvious candidate.
Ah, I see the ambiguity in what I said. Not at all. All the safety measures suggest that someone valued them very much. In my collection of...
Am I correct that this has a tongue in box clasp, a figure 8 safety clasp & a guard chain? A lot of security measures for poor quality pearls....
