Looks like an Italian silver mark and 800, i.e. the silver fineness.
She looks like a takeoff on La Bell Inconnue. The lady was a beautiful but totally anonymous woman whose body was pulled from the Seine in the...
Went back to the charity sale at the church today for the bag sale. $10/bag, but contractor lawn and leaf bags. Anything you could fit other...
THey love to join hoardes!
Signed "wear me!"?
Those were some nice earrings. I bet the European contingent knows what they are, besides O-L-D.
Just a bit. Me too, although I'm a piker (complete amateur) compared to a collection I saw on Youtube recently. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

A sawblade and butterfly wings. Odd isn't in it. I'd have bought it too, if only to figure out what the heck is going on.
If you stop, just send it all to Anyjewelry, unless one of us Americans manages to intercept the jewels en route. We don't see them here.
It does, sort of, but it takes practice and isn't totally accurate. The faster the acid reacts the purer the silver. With practice you can make a...
The old 18k did its job. The new stuff...tested sterling as costume. Not so hot. I will say that I haven't had silver acid in the house in...
Separate names with a comma.
