I just found one in an estate sale. Still need to test the setting, but it's old for certain. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Welcome!
No clue, but it's GOOFY. Love it!
Thirded. Nice molded glass. Jade that color would NOT be in a costume setting. It would be in decent-karat gold. The second one does appear to...
One day I'll find ANY bit. Canadians may see it but Americans never do. Another name to look for is Fire and Light; they made recycled glass....

Vintage (80s!) t-shirts are hot property now, especially old concert shirts. Some sell in the $100s. You betcha the college kids are hitting the...

The tube hinge usually indicates age, except for some traditional Scandinavian pieces. The trombone clasp says it was made further south. The...
To me anyway. The metalwork appears hand done. The trombone clasp points to a central European origin. The center stone comes up like CZ on my...
Sounds like a pre-WWI safety clasp of some sort.
And we ALL go home kicking ourselves sooner or later. We all miss stuff.
Definitely rarities then. This should be fun.
