I'm impressed you all can tell so much from the clasp, which is not even clearly shown in the photos. It just looks like a regular old clasp to...
@Hollyblue - It's hard to get a photo close enough to show that. Maybe this one will help. The little beads/posts on the inside ring especially,...
I saw that one. It's what inspired me to post this. Before seeing that, I had not thought this piece was anything special, and had assumed it was...
The pearl feels kind of rough on the tooth. Not exactly like sandpaper, but definitely not like glass. I now think it's likely a real pearl. For...
I've never done the tooth test, so not experienced enough to tell. Under magnification, the surface is not perfectly smooth. There are small lumps...

I think it's too small and there is no room for that. I do think the cat may have been attached originally through the bottom though.
I have a handed down gold charm that has a family story attached that I was hoping to see if the story fits the item. The small charm (1.2cm at...
Do you know the name of the American family that made the film?
@blooey and @moreotherstuff are you talking about how it appears tipped back a little bit? [ATTACH]
Where? When? Nice photo!
I'll be stunned (but pleased) if anything helps stamps.
I don't know a lot about these antiquities, so this is an actual question, not rhetorical. If someone was important enough to have an armorial...
