Here's my Pearl Pile from a week ago. The bracelet on top is sterling and CZ. [ATTACH]
Welcome to Junk Heaven, Jim! You'd be surprised what's worth something to somebody. I'm just north of Hartford myself, so I may even be able to...
I'd have to get holes to do that.(LOL) frankly, I've had enough holes put in my body as it is.
Any jeweler worth the name does. A hack mall store guy ... yeah, no. I'd probably do it myself, but I've been using it on my own fingernails for...
I found a piece I didn't know I had. It's only a 50s earring bit, but I'm not arguing; it was in the junk pile of busted bits. I found an ad for...
That's what I would do - some sort of superglue and protection. Lapis is a really soft stone.
It looks pretty new to me - 90s or later and probably 2000s.
More like mall store. Maybe a craft store, but with those bottom dangles I suspect factory made.
I'd call it "radiator paint"; it's the silver paint I'm used to seeing on 1930s jewelry.
I wonder who went through and missed those? Sure wasn't me! (LOL)
I'd say ... close enough. I've been having daydreams of finding a PoL necklace when the GoodWill reopens and that they won't have a clue what it is.
If you have to use readers, those are the readers to have.
What's that little piece with the children in dunce (pointy) caps? I've done plenty of embroidery. I think the original worker got part way...
I've found similar pieces in estate sales from time to time.
Mine sold in 2020 for about $85. Times have changed.
I have a sneaking hunch that someone painted a tourist oil over a print on canvas. That may be a Van Gogh under there ... print, that is. This...
It looks like paraiba tourmaline, which if it were would be $$$$$$.
The stones are closed-backed and that can mess with a gem tester. It certainly looks like classic glass and brass from here.
I was thinking Connemara marble before I ever saw the marks. It's the classic green opaque stone in Irish jewelry.
Greetings!
