That seems to happen around me with great frequency. Maybe I'm affecting you from a distance.(LOL)
Poor thing was looking for love in all the wrong places, and finally found some here.
It doesn't stick you if it opens up, at least. It's also the only use I've ever had for those nasty chain bracelets, other than melting the gold ones.
NICE! I'd guess Belle Epoque/ Edwardian for age, and would have bought that too. That's elegant.
The first necklace could be something like Lisner or BSK; it's definitely American, but whodunnit ... dunno. The Chinese writing earrings could...
I found an arrowhead a few years ago that turned out to be Persian. The Persian Empire left them all over the place.
They sell necklace extenders that work well. A 7-inch bracelet works nicely too if it has compatible clasps.
I'd just be calling them Random Rock and leaving it at that, but random rock doesn't work as a keyword. I'd run a cheap diamond tester over them...
Just the way it's made. When you've seen enough old ones you start to recognize them. On second look it's not 30s, but it could easily be 60s.
In Africa, fabrics are traded from country to country just like anything else. They also import it from other parts of the world and reuse...
Got me; I know jack about Native ivory pieces, especially walrus.
The necklace looks like early 70s, and the dangle wants to be Sarah Coventry.
That's a big ink stain on the bottom; it's enough to make you wonder. Something leaked all over it, but fountain pens are generally stored...
The size sounds more spear-ish than arrow-ish. Beyond that ... dunno.
Nice one. @Bronwen would have jumped on her too.
I was thinking it was saying "oil me".
Hannah?
It's a coffeepot, souvenir of Turkey.
They used to hang pictures from a "picture rail" - a plate rail-type affair. That would involve visible nails, so it makes sense the Victorians...
It looks as though it's inscribed with someone's name; I'm not good enough with Cyrillic to figure out what it says.
Separate names with a comma.
