You can, it's nice dichroic glass which I am rather partial to.
It's solid, but I've had other old brooches which were similar. Belt and braces!
Or an alloy, yes. Make sure you dry them VERY thoroughly, hair dryer, radiator, oven even, then a smear of WD40.
blonde moment. ;)
Hm. I shall go squint, thank you.
Square one is a bracelet, a whole 1.50. ;) The back says Guarantee Murano Glass Made in Italy. Modern, but yes, the colour is fab.
Yes, it's actually pretty recent, would you believe. A teeny tiny n which looks like 2012. Unless I can't read,whcih is quite feasible, it is titchy.
Brooch is mssing a glass bit, I'd add. Doesn't matter.
aj, the citrine actually has full British hallmarks, not even import ones, would you believe. The amethyst is 925 marked, the others not. I think...
aj, I think those flat round ones were relatively standard office issue? Designed to not topple.
I'd give those a good vinegar bath.
They were often stained - and more photos can't hurt. ;)
Many thanks! I grabbed a whole pile of bits for pennnies, I rather like this one.
HAH! ;) OK, now I've seen that properly, yes it's a cuticle pusher.
It's FF, agreed.
The colour can also apply to the season in a Catholic church, too. Lent, Advent, and so on.
And one for @Any Jewelry please. Silver plated copper, looks Victorian but I'm wondering if the style rings a bell. Almost like a watch chain....
1843, komo. ;) People do put new photos in! Brooch is nice late nineteenth. Little diamonds and a ruby.
What do you reckon on this one? It was filthy, now I've cleaned it, I suspect the setting is gold. Befores and afters. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Did I mention I have no willpower? Necklace was on Facebook, the rest are booties. ;) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
