I'd have said Industrial Art Deco or Machine Age Deco right off the bat. ...and hauled that bracelet off so fast ...SCORE! Machine Age pieces...
1960s-ish shell chunk necklace. Sometimes they were souvenirs and sometimes just sold retail. I don't see a clasp, so it may have been part of a...
Or a leather thong; it would hang best as a choker.
The young lad is a showoff! Bet his sort wrote in the snow too! The bone and silver bitty thing looks like a toothpick, from before the days of...
If they're big enough for ankles, we Westerners could probably wear them as bracelets. High copper content there, but that doesn't mean they're...
That last one might be Halley's Comet pin. Looks like it.
That clasp doesn't look 80s at all, more like well-worn 50s. Maybe someone married them?

The only question is what to do with it now. Unless you've got a guy who's into waistcoats/vests. (for some of y'all, "vest" = underwear, which...
Hmmm, are we related? My family recognizes messed up knees as family trait. My sister and I both got one courtesy of our father and probably his...
Same here. Sad but true.
Not a clue. It's costume, no questions there. I'm pretty sure that just means the design has a copyright on it. The word means Guarentee.
I never bought much in the way of Tiffany. Too many fakes out there. When I do get some, they get resold to a local antiques dealer. He tests...
Pink, yellow, and green gold were used in Black Hills pieces. Victorian yellow gold sometimes oxidizes to pinkish, it's the copper content, so the...
