Thank you @Any Jewelry and @mirana ! So, banded agate, while not precise, was accurate. I did not know all chalcedony has been treated! Such...
Hi! No, no printing. The pin only hinges about 75 degrees so I can't get fully under it but it's smooth. The area you are seeing under the pin...
Oooh! Hadn't thought of that! I'll look into it, thanks!
Yes, to @evelyb30 's point, many cameos originally were made with bails that could be swiveled out of sight as well as pins. I tested the...

I never thought about the danger to hands!! I'll stick with my wrinkled shirts!
I love Dala horses. Lucky you! But, mangle boards? Wow! That's a new term. I would think a device for pressing clothes would un-mangle them!
Amber and a heart?? It's a two-fer! Good find!
Oh, I see now! The dangle that hung inside the hoop. You could put a pearl drop in there on both--not original but then the ring holding the...
Thanks to @mirana for showing the fluorescence. That was quite a surprise! And good to know my one guess about the objects was correct!
What a rare find! I don't know what you mean by the "middle part" missing. As for marks, maybe a gentle polish on the silver with a cloth might...
I know less than diddly about tortoise hair combs so I was intrigued to learn they fluoresce. As for the long, plain stick with a bent end,...
