Yep - Original Poster, generally.
2.5 Pennyweights on my analog dram scale - currently about $89 including the stone, so $75 is probably about melt. Not bad for a jewelry store buy.
The dealer said $50 in scrap. It's not going anywhere for a while, at least, except into my hoard.
But it does have working keyholes. It may not be as old as it wants to be, but it's old. If the price is reasonable for a hunk of furniture and I...
I'm not quite sure what I was thinking, but it fit and jumped on my finger and wouldn't leave. $75 paid for a brushed white gold and lab star...
The first one looks like rhinestones; they're clear and the settings look glued. The black on is damascene for sure. Odds are those black bits...
Welcome fellow jewelry junkie!
At least. I don't think it's an antique since it's in both English and metric and it was made here. On the other paw all of the paint is worn out...
Mine is completely analog; it may be as old as I am.(LOL) It was Made in USA.
The mountains are the Alps. If the bracelet were done in India, the Indians had artists perfectly capable of doing really good paintings on...
Don't just sit there, post something! Welcome, btw. Did Davey already give you instructions on how to upload photos? If they're too big they...
Best idea I've seen so far; if the pedestal leg is shorter than the others, seconds on the missing casters. They were used so the cleaning crew...
Better roast beef than a lot of the so-called pleasantly scented shampoos. Uck.
I tend to use calipers.(LOL) My late dad left some baby ones in the house and they're dead perfect for beads. At this point I've handle enough...
Problems I wouldn't mind having. Woot! I went through my local Ill Will today and spent not one penny. Waste of gas driving there.
I'm a cheapskate.(LOL) I've got 4mm garnets around. Not sure about the rest.
The "amethysts" look like glass from here. The two-tone locket looks like most its "tone" has worn off.
I've heard them called watch winders, from the days when pocket watches were wound with a key. The two often get separated. If someone had the...
Or an antique store; I've caught some decent deals on beads that way before. You could cannibalize some of those 8mm bead stretchy bracelets if...
If I were close enough I'd be nabbing that Chinese table. It looks very well-constructed and I'd bet not for export. The writing underneath is...
