Oh yes. I'd forgotten those so-called "jewellers." ;)
af, I think the only rings I've seen stamped with carat weight were of the QVC variety. ;)
The h will be the date letter. If there's no monarch's head, it's 1907, if lower case. EFC will be a maker's mark, and as af would say, some...
As af says, the instant clue to their being Brit is the spelling of ct and the use of 9 ct gold. Europeans and Aussies also spell ct that way but...
Indeed. Recent Asian copy of traditional Portuguese cabbage ware.
I read the first post and was about to use the words fused slumped and dichroic, but you found it. ;) Nice glass work.
I had a rather fine find tonight. went to a local auction and got chatting to a friendly dealer. She and I were both intertested in a jools lot -...
Bohemian, to be precise. Late 19th/ealry 20th.
Or European. ;)
Those silvery ones are the same shape as many I own on Navajo necklaces, especially squash blossom ones. I wish I had the beads in my hand - I...

There's that sort of dolphin shaped thingie too. 14ct is relatively unusual - as I said, European, but also Australian. More recent European would...
Looks like the base of a North African tagine.

I'm being clear as mud. ;) If you look at the mark, it says 925 and 14ct . That implies that it has or had some element of a gold overlay of some...
925 silver with 14ct overlay detail. And interestingly, spelled the European way, so that narrows it. Moonstones. Let me think about the marks.
How big is it please?
I read an interview with La Loren recently where she mentioned that Mansfield photo. She was giggling with the interviewer, and said her...
1950s/60s silver would almost invariably carry hallmarks, we got a lot stricter.
komokwa, it's also the case that sometimes one or two of a set were marked, but not the whole caboodle. As to the "flame thing", I need to...
Separate names with a comma.
