Agree there are some weird and wonderful nail varnishes out there. My OH has a little contraption that's brilliant for holding things....
Glad I'm not alone!. Why people think that holding a piece of jewellery makes it easier to see I have no idea. And don't model the ladies rings,...
Thankyou. That's great and makes complete sense. So would this be 50's ish or later?

Unintended side effect- Both small girls have a canny eye for a hallmark in a charity shop. Shame they don’t know how to keep their voices down...
Not going to argue with that!. Thankyou for your brilliant help both of you stars ✨

Is it possible to date this wooden bangle by its assembly or style please?. Modern or vintage? Sorry I don’t know what type of wood it is but two...
