Wonder if your niello items might have been collar studs. Think there was a period in women's wear when blouses used a stud to close a high...
The fob looks worked over to me, doubt the prongs are original to it. If the color of the stone is showing reasonably accurately on my monitor,...
I feel like we've seen this cameo in the thread before, but maybe not. Quite a production. Suspect it is 20th century as the elements are from...
Thank you. Assuming you don't mind if I add your pix to my file of such images? Great that the cameo is so visible. I've mostly stopped buying...
Does it reflect the purple light back or absorb it & stay looking close to the same color it is under normal lighting? I'm not sure a...
Being a dedicated enabler, I'm not saying anything other than you're welcome. :)
Scooped!

When did we ever make that a rule that couldn't be broken? Weigh away!

Hi there. Is the smaller hole deep enough to hold a pen? The object still with it looks like a desk seal that was never engraved.
Textiles completely out of my range, so all this is interesting. How big are these? I can imagine holding one to your face while saying, I feel...
Separate names with a comma.
