Featured I've a new addiction. Louis Rousselet

Turns out some of the Hoard stuff I thought probably Bohemian is Rousselet.

Oh dear. More doom approaches.

 

So since I assume, your pieces are unmarked, what brought about this revelation? And are we going to see some stuff, or are you hiding it from us.

 

I'm sorting it.

Some VERY nice looking "stuff!!" there!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looking forward to seeing your pieces.

 

Me too!

 

It's rather like Neiger, in that it has specific markers which can identify it. Very good beads, too.

 

Do tell.

 

That's a name I haven't heard much.

 

Ya gotta have a hobby, this one works!

 

Me neither! Anxious to see what you got, Bear!

 

I’ve got a couple of LR necklaces too I’ll dig them out and take some piccys. Also a brooch that I’m on the fence about if it’s LR or not. Finding that in the hoard could take some time though!
Show us yours Bear

 

I shall get a better pic later on. And more when I've Hoard Trawled.

 

This is the one that's been confirmed. I've had it for years, can't even recall where it came from!

@KikoBlueEyes - Those sort of windmill metal settings are absolutely typical, and was the giveway for mine. Also, sometimes barrel clasps and the beads that look a bit like Pekin glass. And being strung on chain.

 

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to share. I see tons of unmarked jewelry and have few tools to evaluate whether something is special.

 

I do often buy on a sort of instinct.

Oops!

 

Instinct born of years of collecting and research, I'm sure. I have to paw up everything and examine it carefully. I watch you in wonder of your instincts.

 

To add to the confusion, this piece of mine is stamped Germany on the jump ring next to the clasp. Same time period I'd guess.

 

I'd say spot on. I surmise that either the clasp was replaced or they bought in fittings. It does look dead right.

 

It could be as simple as the one marked is another manufactures design on the one not marked.
