Oh my days.
I love frogs, wish I had some in my pond. The brooch is mad: who KNITS with amber!
Banded is agate, possibly dyed. I suspect both are from somewhere like Bali or Indonesia, and relatively recent.
Well that's a nice thing. Can you get a close up please? It's looking like carved marble, in which case you're a very lucky person. Oh,and which...
The amber was silly cheap, frog wasn't too bad either. Yes, a good start!
It's shattered silk. Lovely box.
The piece de resistance was froggy here. Huge, heavy and feeds the glass addiction too. Look how his foot is the band! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Given I drank very little on New Years Eve, I was fine to go to a little indoor charity table top sale. I think most of the sellers were hungover...
Brooch is older Czech, between the wars. Get a bit of windex on a toothbrush and give it a gentle clean. Bracelet looks older Chinese.
Yup, ct is used in British English.
It's not Mdina, but yes, they do use many spirals. The top is decently done and it's a polished base. Might be Polish.
Not going to be any of our former colonies with that spelling either. Hm. Middle Eastern?
Pandora. I rest my case.
A combination of both: it's been badly struck in the first place, and then something like over enthusiastic cleaning has worn it more.
There's a great deal of fabulous Egyptian silver. That's a badly rubbed Cairo mark.
Most welcome. I knew yours rang a bell!
You're most welcome. 1976 makes more sense with the style and the marble, I'd say. A wee souvenir Celtic cross.
