I'd settle for that big gold-plated knicknack in the center of the table. All of it is a bit of a gaudy disaster as far as I'm concerned, but it...
Or more to the point, contraband toilet paper?
I carry a small magnet from a kid's toy in my purse, but nothing stronger. It weeds out obvious junk and I use my eyeballs for the rest. Me...
Yeahwell. I buy beat-up old cookbooks but I hoard those for myself. I like the ones with handwriting all over them, preferably two or more...
Sure looks like the right square bit. Now for the obvious - I wonder what happened to the rest of the piece! Some have some weathering, so these...

Sometimes you gotta wonder. But welcome aboard!
Seconded. None of the three is period and none are older than the 1980s. At least two look post-2000 to me.
I've never seen a point-cut diamond out of the setting, so I don't know. IIRC they used to be called writing diamonds sometimes, because you...

Mona from down the block maybe! Nice opals though.
Separate names with a comma.
