The butterfly was costume, but pretty.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second two are from a church sale I planned to sleep through. Glad I didn't. A pin that didn't make it into the photos looked like the usual gold-filled..but it isn't filled. Solid 14k with a pearl. The earrings that look like Bollywood dangles have no marks, but test like 14k. The necklace is either a ((((glorp)))) or a ((darnit!)) It's marked 22C and the 18k acid holds up. I don't keep higher in the house. If it's real it's the most valuable find of the year. The last image is all either marked, and I believe it, or unmarked and tested sterling. Add in two jigsaw puzzles and the whole mess was $23.00 ..including two pair of sterling earrings and a chain that were in a FREE box in another room. I don't argue with free sterling. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]539122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539124[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539125[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
