On the one hand, score! On the other, shame on whoever got rid of granny's kiddush cup. I've been known to rehome them myself, but have only...
Nice!
Oops. One guess - staff had NO clue what that is. You wisely didn't tell them. All I find is knackered silverplate, if it's not chrome instead.

Too bad. Odds are they're both Italian. The rose may well coral and probably Italian too. Beyond that...dunno. I'd guess the brooch is 1960s...
DINGDINGDING! Score!!! Those akoyas are gorgeous. Unfortunately they look like a restring job, but it's more of a tedious job than a difficult...
