Thanks! Thank you. ☺ the locket is gold over 835 silver. I've always liked these, so I'm happy I finally found my own. They're growing on me...
Today's finds. Brooch is hallmarked for 1891 Birmingham. Coral necklace needs to be restrung (it was a bag of loose beads that I then strung on...
I'm almost positive those faux turquoise beads are Czech. I picked up 8 strands of them at a flea market in the Czech Republic.
Wow! Great sleuthing. I doubt mine will get anywhere near that price, but now I have a good idea how much a similar one sold for. I'm pretty sure...
Darn, I wish I had realized they were cuff links when I bought them. I paid 3 euros each, thinking they were meant to be worn individually, rather...
Pretty small. About 1.57 inches/4 cm tall.
I'm working on a Young Adult fantasy novel set in a German-inspired world. :)
I purchased it at a flea market in Paris, so probably French. :) How old do you think it is? Could it be Georgian based on the pin length?...
Growing up, I was fascinated with swords and medieval weapons. Now I have my very own...even though it's small enough to pick my teeth with, haha....
Is it possible for the cuff buttons to have come in an unmatching set? I bought two niello ones from the same seller--the vines one and a...
That's such a fantastic idea! I've seen some charms made with stag beetle parts, and I bet a scorpion would look incredible on one. Or a...
I'll have to test it. I assumed it was a costume piece, but something about the locket-pendant combo set off my radar...
I know, it's shocking how much they go for. :(
These seem too large for that, at over 2 cm (nearly .8 inches) in diameter.
Sorry the carving quality isn't the best either. [ATTACH]
Sorry, one more. I also bought these pair of cameos for one euro each. They're light weight, greenish, and feel kind of gritty on the backs, like...
Thank you! What a fascinating historical subject
I love charivaris and charivari charms. I'm currently a bit obsessed with them due to a story I'm working on. Here's my current collection....
Thought you might appreciate this lava (I think) cameo I picked up over the weekend. It's hallmarked on the clasp; I think it might be the French...
I'm mystified by these two items. I bought a mismatched pair of the niello cufflink-like buttons, but I don't think they're actual cufflinks,...
Separate names with a comma.
