<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BMRT, post: 636369, member: 10892&quot;](Warning: rather lengthy and rambling post)</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m eyeing some items and would appreciate your thoughts on what it is, how it looks in the condition it’s in and if the asking price is worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This first one is a brooch. Seller is back and forth between it being antique or vintage. It’s 10K gold and does look like it has some age to it but the pin makes me think not that old because of the safety and how it doesn’t extend at all from the catch.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]182888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]182891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]182893[/ATTACH] Without being able to touch it I don’t know if anyone can tell if this is shell or resin. What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>They ask $57 plus shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next item is a teeny ring. This one in particular is not so well detailed but I am still considering it. I have thin fingers and finding rings that fit is difficult. It’s a size 3. The band and how small the cameo is doesn’t lead me to believe it was ever a larger size to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller says it’s gold however the stamp is apparently very faided. [ATTACH=full]182894[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]182895[/ATTACH] It does look like its suffered some damage in it’s setting and the bezel is a bit bent.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one doesn’t look plastic to me at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ask is $40 plus shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a brooch. No notes on if it’s seated in brass, silver or copper. The pin setting looks older, c catch? [ATTACH=full]182896[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]182897[/ATTACH]&nbsp; The cameo is cracked. The seller talked the most about the crack. The piece is apparently still secure in the setting despite the crack.</p><p><br /></p><p>The asking price is $20 plus ship.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if your still here with me till the end, finally, this rather odd purple necklace. I’m not even sure this is a cameo but this is what the seller called it:[ATTACH=full]182898[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]182899[/ATTACH]I think it’s glass. The seller knows nothing about it either. Chain and pendant look silver but no way to tell from the two pictures available. I don’t think this is antique but I can’t guess if it’s vintage or very new (revival new?) and they ask $20 plus the ship.</p><p><br /></p><p>It still caught my eye and that’s why it’s included.</p><p><br /></p><p>Opinions please. The longer I’m left to my own devices the more dangerous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
