Featured Interesting article about Jet jewelry & its recent resurgence.

I saw this online today and thought some folks might find it an interesting read.

I know most of the folks who are lucky enough to find a piece of old Jet jewelry would be loathe to let go of it. My guess is the price of the old pieces is likely to go up, as usually happens when something old becomes fashionable once again. People clamor for vintage, or in this case antique, pieces.

wondering if this might be a bit of old jet in an upcoming auction, very hard to tell of course, but 1 in a number of about 200 watched listings

 

think its like a hand holding something

 

That little lot looks very interesting to me also.

Do they have any type of description on the 3 spoons?

I miss going to the auction. Sigh!!

 

google imaging on that piece seems to bring up other jet pieces, so quite a good sign

 

no peg, they are always very vague. it was just that piece of the group that looked interesting

 

theres a fob and a little purse by the looks, might be a good lot for a fiver

 

You're right about that. I gave it a run through photoshop for you.



I can find similar but not exact, which ups the chances of it being carved and not faux molded. Although even those pieces sell well. Give it a search and see what you think.

 

Agree.
The souvenir spoons look promising, especially the enameled ones, which seem to have no chips. I'm with Davey, the watch fob is likely gold on silver. The purse may not be silver and is missing the centre ball dangle. But all in all a nice little lot with selling potential.

 

the hand brings up lots very similar so looks like it that sort of thing. didn't even notice the spoons really, but they do look quite nice actually.

i've gotta go up the day before as their are a large number of stamp book lots so will have a butchers

 

this one made me chuckle, you can actually see the thought process
"this bag of very cheap bangles will never sell, so we'll put 2 crap interesting looking ones in to get a bit of interest"



this ones a bit more interesting, but hair lockets give me the right willies

 

The hand holding a bunch of flowers is emblematic of friendship. Looks very likely to be jet to me.

 

blimey ! do you ever get any sea glass on your beaches dave ?

a place called seaham in the uk is where you can find some amazing peices, and worth good cash as well

 

a nice little activity for beach dog walkers until you get too engrossed and realize your dogs gone home on his own

 

Something tells me that pile would add very nicely to the retirement fund. If this fad of new jet jewelry takes off you might want to sell the lot. If nothing else you can feed Buzz for at least a couple of weeks on the profits.
