Sounds like a good idea to me! When you make as much jewelry as India does and you're known for it, having a hallmarking system can only help make...
The earrings look like relatively recent ones, some of which are artisan. The bracelets could be anything from late 60s on up. They were big in...
Check inside the top drawers; that's where the labels usually hang out. I'd call it late 50s to early 60s Mid-century modern.
No idea, but that's a score ... and nobody "cleaned" it!
Heh heh heh. Score! All I ever find around here are "alloy" pieces and silverplate. They put the price tags over those marks too ... and then...
It looks like some sort of infrared massager whatsit, or a TENS device maybe.
India and environs might make sense - 20k for the locals, 14k for the farenghi. :p
This time I can honestly say I have no idea whatsoever. Not gemstone, not natural material. The metal looks like nickel or nickel plate, but...
I like welo opals, Mexican fire opals, Peruvian pink opals .... I wouldn't put one of them in the ring, but would cheerfully hoard any of the...
Those generally drive performance automobiles on my local roads and pass on the double yellow. That's what I call them anyway, because you can...
I agree with Brad; it looks better now than it did to start with.
It does test as 14k or thereabouts if that's any clue. 18k goes right through, but the 14k just sits there. I guess it could be 15k too for that...
But with any luck, we find those in thrifts sold as plated because the marks are "wrong".(LOL)
It sounds like the ring served its purpose.
...and so it begins.
He's hopeless. (LOL) Then again look who's talking. I found one of Greg's urns today. Unfortunately it was green instead of the black....
For two bucks ... bingo. Opals were bad luck, at least for the store!
I wouldn't be surprised. Someone back in the Way Back When mounted the nugget with a tube hinge pinback. It might even be a California nugget...
The top ones are hand knotted glass pearls. They used to use sterling clasps sometimes even on the fakes, so that's the second set. They could...
That's one funny-looking cancellation mark. (stamp collector's kid. sorry) It's too new for me to know whodunnit. sorry.
