In paperweights, a frosted base is a sign of Chinese origin. I'm no expert but I do know that much. This doesn't feel like Galle; the black...
It it a St Andrew or am I imagining things? Celtic as all get-out. I love stripy lucite bangles. I had to google the Pisky; you wouldn't know I...
The top ring looks like tiger's eye. The earring backs are made by a manufacturer who then sells them to jewelry makers. No idea who it is, but...
