If they're regular brass, that pushes me more into the artisan camp, possibly right in your back yard. If those were aluminum links I'd be...
Seconded. Good luck getting custom glass cut these days. I hope someone made off with that wardrobe. It's gorgeous and demands house room with...
Marko hit the Barbie sweeps! I only liked the dolls because I wanted to make the clothes and play with the accessories. (weird kid) I can...
I'd think a crafting class, or High School metal shop. The copper would fit, copper was used for classes and I think it's a cigarette box.
I'm leaning that way too. They're hand-made lampwork for sure. The whole thing might be American or Canadian. That is NOT a Japanese clasp....
Nary a one, I'm afraid. I do have a few pre-WWI cookbooks, but that's it.
Get hold of a stickpin clutch and wear it!
It sure is cheerful. Make sure to post a pic of the clasp over there. It's often the best clue as to age and origin of the metalwork.
Art Nouveau-ish, Belle Epoque. These weren't used any more, at least not much, by the time Deco rolled around.
I've seen both Italian and Japanese beads strung that way. They want to be Italian, but I'm not 100% sure.
Seconded. I don't see a speck of Deco on it.
Or just dumped it and it buried itself. Around here all you would find muldarking are rocks, bottle caps (maybe) and nails. There were plenty of...
Bev ran a locksmithing business and the hubs was/is the Guy Who Knows old locks. I was thinking replacement too, even before seeing that she...
It was reading Bayou to me. I keep expecting an alligator to pop its nose out of the water.
Not a clue here, I'm American and old porcelain really isn't my cuppa, but it sure is pretty.
I've never seen a Basra pearl either. My guess is few if any made it to the USA, and if seen now they'd be mistaken for freshwaters. I'd say...
I'm no expert, but I'd think not. My spidey senses aren't tingling. It's a nice chunk of cased glass, but the copper "goldstone" just doesn't...
It doesn't sound crazy to me. When you're young, you can do stuff like that. She was used to driving distanced and really logging the miles, so...
I've also never seen a sport ring on an identified European piece. That doesn't mean they didn't use them; it just means I haven't seen one.
The beads are worry beads, or kolomboi to use an eastern Mediterranean name for them. Those are often faturan or some sort of composite amber or...
Separate names with a comma.
