Lovely neodymium glass beads, super plastic sixties - I've got it in yellow, somewhere, as well - and NOS Cabouchon complete with the original eye...
Three nice silver pendants. Can anyone read the scrawly signature? Also, FABULOUS Edwardian silver screw backs with illusion cut opalescent...
They probably are, but may have been heat treated. That can change the result. They look like modern Polish pendants.
Cat litter. The Fullers Earth type. Stick it in a bag of it for a week, that'll fix it. Febreeze is the work of the devil.
I've a smoky quartz/topaz ring in 18 ct. 70s ish. Sell it as a birthstone.
Earrings are amber. Chinese is veddy veddy interesting.
I'll lay odds those are Majorica.
Foreign also shows up on post WW2 Italian and Japanese stuff, as well as post WW1 and 2 German. Thanks sis, much obliged! It's a very nice...
It's a PO!
Hm. I may be some time, I've one like that somewhere.
It's lovely, but I'm not sure it's that old. Something about the back.
Isn't it just!

Vinegar ought not to impact silver or gold at all, but if you're worried, don't soak it, just use a bit of white vinegar on a cotton bud.
Yup, that's why the vinegar fixes it.
It won't affect hard stones at all. Don't use it on soft ones like pearl or opal.
The other thing that removes green gunk is vinegar.
I use one a great deal. Not with pearls or opals though. With a ring that old, I'd use it on a low setting, very short bursts to make sure no...
Furnivals is the other one I was trying to remember.
