Featured Quite a lot of finds……

Feeling guilty as to how cheap it all was……..
So of course I had to buy way too much over the last few weeks

Very nice Sterling charm bracelet (1.99)

Scrap 9K earrings and some very definitely not scrap drop earrings.

Silver ring is unmarked scrap as the band is broken , gold is 9K.

Christian Dior chain necklace

Jewelcraft earrings that need lots of glue cleaned off them.

Heavy Sterling chain necklace

Lovely foil Czech bead necklace and modern dichroic glass.

Scottish sycamore necklace & Sterling Celtic earrings.



There’s more, I’ll post tomorrow….. Thanks for looking.

 

Your Dior was made by Grosse, that's their clasp. 80s ish. Tried a UV on those green beads?

I do like those rod style Czech necklaces.

 

Love the charm bracelet

 

This is a botanical query: do sycamore trees in Scotland have seeds that look like those of maples in the US?

 

LOL, this American was googling that, too!

 

I was wondering the same thing as I was imagining the two pieces "twirling" to the ground.

 

Wow! Nice score

 

Same here. Those look like maple seeds, aka "propellers".

 

Beautiful... Nice buy

 

It would appear our Sycamore trees are a type of Acer!

 

Absolutely sycamore and a right pain they can be. I find baby sycamore trees all over the garden.

Seed dispersal mecahnism is fascinating. I grow wood cyclamens and they hold their seed pods on a tightyl coiled spring. One day, it goes POP! and off they trot.

 

My mum used to have some dried flowers/ seed pods in the hallway. If you brushed up against them they would explode and seeds would ricochet around the hall! No idea what they were.

 

Lunaria? Honesty? They do that.

 

I did wonder about Grosse as I’ve seen similar. I didn’t realise it was recogniseable by its clasp.
Sadly no go on the UV. I suspected they wouldn’t glow as the facets are very soft so I think they are very modern but very cheap and a pretty colour so I’m happy.
I have a thing for the necklaces with the rods and I love the foil beads so win win!.

Thankyou. I couldn’t believe the price on the box, the bracelet screams ‘I am silver and I am fabulous’ and no one heard until I arrived to liberate it!

Thankyou

Thankyou

I thought Honesty was that tracing paper seed pod?

 

Sycamore and maple are the same family. There's even a tree called the sycamore maple.

 

The sycamore here and the sycamore maple are one and the same, Acer pseudoplatanus. Sugar maples are another acer, saccharum.

 

Love the anker chain, most.
