I had heard of "plique-à-jour" but not "à jour". Wiki says it is work where metal is cut. This seems cast though? Is it still referred to in this...
Agreed it is an Eastern Star ring, a Masonic order that allows women related to Masons to be members. Age...white gold was commercially used...
I picked up a single perfect pinecone on a walk with the husband in his hometown state park. He teased what was I going to do with it? No idea. I...
Rocks are the best thing to collect! Also seashells if you live near an ocean. Nature makes such an interesting variety and they're FREE. Or maybe...
Sure looks like a 351 style pick to me. Arrow was a maker, though this logo has a J as well. Sometimes there were collabs. Looooots of picks out...
Krementz.

The close up photos are great and do look like a painting from here. What I'm wondering is why it's then got a mat and is under glass? I would go...
Here's another from the same maker. Looks like different artists, but apparently Medusa was a good seller for the jeweler. I don't blame them,...
What makes you believe the clasp is not original? It appears to be the same color and is an appropriate proportion.
Guess I'll have to expand my territory! The Restore here had outrageous prices last I looked but that was years ago. I poke through my local GW...
Congratulations!! Best get the security chain put back on that beast! :joyful: It's very pretty. Might be earlier 20th c? It's got a joint spring...
I originally was interested in it, besides liking the image, because I've seen so many things listed as "white lava" that clearly aren't lava. So...
