    These were some of 2 boxes full of costume jewelry my sister gave me that had belonged to our mom. Can anyone tell the maker from the symbol inside the large bracelet?
    Also how old it is?
    My sister said these were costume jewelry (and they were in a jewelry box full of costume jewelry) but costume jewelry doesn't have 18k gold & 025 silver does it?
    Finally, they are all heavy but the large braclet is really heavy - almost 1/4 pound! How can you tell how much is the silver & how much is the gold pieces? Either way if they are all sterling or 18k gold these have to be expensive, right?
    Thanks!

    I never heard of him before, but am looking him up now!
    Are these vintage? I'm wondering about the time period to see if it's when she & my dad were married.
    I'll tell my sister - I've been splitting everything with her & my brother.
    Wait till you see the 2 Hermes scarfs my sister also gave me - at least 1 (Cosmos) I believe is from the 70's & both look like they were never taken out of the box!

    It's 3-4 boxes full, but I'll take photos of each drawer open on jewelry boxes & top of the reg boxes (although there are some small orange/redcloth bags tied at top I'll have to open)

    Especially when she had my dad's credit cards! 1 box of photos shows her coming out of Neiman Marcus on Miami Beach with a big smile on her face! lol

    Right? The detail is incredible & if I took the photos on a darker background I think you can see them better

    It is very good quality. Hardy was one of the many Westerners who had jewellery made in Bali, but he was one of the first, if I remember correctly.
    The style is inspired by traditional Indonesian styles but much more bold and chunky, and made by Balinese craftspeople, so good quality.
