Featured Rings,

No idea what this is ( as per)
( don't think it's old,it was just in my boxes and was intrigued) x
Nothing seems to unscrew...it's five inches . The top does turn


This is very light ( could it be pinchbeck perhaps?)
It's hollow with what looks like enamel missing from the front.
Mans's size,no markings, not attracted to a magnet





I got this in a detecting lot...it's all the same colour despite my pics. It has what looks like a full hallmark but it's really worn .
Not attracted to magnet



These I LOVE but they have a slightly weird vibe...no idea what or why but they unnerve me a but.
They are approx an inch and a half ... feel like a very cold heavy glass



NO IDEA what these are ( they are in my box, so I took pics, know they're not jewels ) xx
They are two inches across.and a regd number which looks like Rg.No 502526



I think I worked this out for myself!
Is this cut steel?
Two & a half inches



This is interesting...must be glass
It has two little balls that roll around in the back compartment ...why are they there I wonder?
It's 2 inches across and an inch & a half down
Missing some teeny blue *stones* at the front.
Not attracted to magnet




Off for Round Three xx

(Sorry about the title! I completely forgot to finish it!)

 

Nice baubbles, Bou!
Your 1st is a celluloid hat pin (to ornate berets or cloche hats) 1920s/1930s
Just pull one end (suspect the long one!) to open it
2th is pinchbeck shells laminated on a more hard metal core.
3th appears to be gold... You'll have to test
4th may be bowenite, stone, jade lookalike
5th... mystery
6th Yes! Cut steel, old one with all bits individually riveted, needing a little polish with thin steel wool to get rid of the rust, then wax or oil.
7th Czech opaline glass, very pretty, you may glue any convenient size rhinestones to finish it. No idea for the rattling balls inside

 

You are FABULOUS!!!
Kyra..thank you . Loads for me to digest...many many thanks x x xx

 

Just had a look at bowenite,could very well be that,thank you again! Never heard of that! xxx

 

You're very welcome, dear Boubou

 

Green beads look like green aventurine to me. Otherwise, agree with my French cousine.

 

Love the first one, BTW. I also believe pin pulls out of the pointed end.

 

Now I know it does come out imma give it another go! Thank you all xxx

 

I agree with all of the above.
Just wanted to add, I think the Czech brooch is ca 1910-20.

 

Excellent! Thank you my lovely AJ x xx

 

Think more accurate to say it has some stones. Isn't it missing nearly all of them? They're not the main attraction anyway.

 

Yes, you're right, has two or three left!

Tha black ones are some kind of patent button. Circa 1908.

 

FAB! Thanks my Mrs. B!

 

The hat pin, it may not pull to open, sometimes these are threaded and you have to twirl the end to get it off

 

That Czech brooch is fab!. Lovely colour glass.

 

Those Tudor rose bits have British design registry numbers on the back. It ought to be possible to trace it if you really want to. If you can read the whole number, a check of registration numbers in the back of a pottery book will give you an approximate date they were designed. (easiest place I know of to look for the list but it's on line too)

 

Great,will have a go! Thank you Marie xxx

 

Thank you Evelyb xxx...I did try with the numbers online and got a scaffolding device I am useless with numbers ( dyspraxia)
