Actually, I was just guessing brass, as I would NOT expect to see gold in so many pieces made this way, much less one of this questionable...
Hello, again! I rescued this dainty ring from a scrapper (along with a couple other silver rings and, believe it or not, a TIFFANY bracelet!) and...
Thank you all for your input. I am always impressed with the way Google shows some of you more than they do me! That, added to your own extensive...
Greetings! I acquired this carved figure from the estate of a friend's uncle. He came from Chile and had many items related to there. As near as I...

Ah, I like that! I think I'll use it.

This silver bracelet is a more recent find, but also an interesting design. Each link is like a figure-8 with a studded belt around the middle. I...
Yes, it did.
I've had this 7.5" long bracelet for awhile, and don't recall where I got it. It was so black I only recently saw the Italian hallmarks on it,...
I found this little bud vase at the Swap Shop today. Maybe it's nothing, but the stamp on the bottom seemed familiar, so I added it to my pile....
Thanx for the clarification. I tried to find some indication on those pages you linked, but all I saw was "pure silver" with no fineness...
