Agree, the mark is key. Assuming no damage (a chip can cut 90% of the value), I would do a bit more research into the mark. I was also wondering...
Sometimes there is tiny writing on the backs indicating the manufacturer. This can hold a lot of info as to date, etc.
Exactly. We need to see the backs. They might even be 1990s. There was a trend where companies were selling boxes of pretty nice quality "art...
I've gotten one or two ivory necklaces with netsuke charms from the 1980s, resold them years ago (on Ebay). Basically impossible to sell online...
Thank you AJ and J Dagger. :):)
More photos! Definitely has some blue. I would say the camera picture here corrected it somewhat to look more blue than real life, but...
Ah, didn't realize there was another response here. Thank you @J Dagger I'll take another look!
Remember back when an "Occupied Japan" mark could increase an item 5-10 fold? As stated, interest has fallen off. When I run into the mark...
Can't help with date, but love the texture on this. Nice find!
Beautiful fix on the box! Well done. So far my absolute favorite the Japanese Meiji flower spoon with the roots coming out into the bowl --- wow.
There is a little verdigris showing on the gold colored part (esp in photo #3) which may suggest brass, but verdigris can always spread off of...
Agree with all the comments so far. First thought was homemade. And doubled that thought when I saw the bottom, unfinished. Tripled when I saw...
Still thinking about this... The holes may have nothing to do with the attachment of the clips. Do the clips fit (clip in) in on the bars in a...
Pairs of dress clips often came with a frame backing so you could wear them separately or together as a brooch. Definitely don't force anything....
I think the backing frame posted on another thread goes with these clips, and with this new info, likely means not diamonds.
Ahhh... the plot thickens. I believe this goes with your dress clips. Can the dress clips clip into this? Give it a try. Probably means not...
Absolutely correct these are dress clips, and 1920s a date. I have a suggestion, unlikely to have a positive result, but keep reading. I would...
Looks like an one of a kind artisan ring. Hard to pin down the exact date on something like that, but I agree post 1970s is likely. I think I...
Thanks, everyone. :):):):) Would be amazing if 18th century. Something in the hand does have sort of an older quality about it. Not sure what...
I think center stone is what people describe as "goldstone". I've also heard it described as "gold sandstone", but wait for others. Awesome it...
Separate names with a comma.
