Featured Some recent treasures!

Some finds I've picked up post lockdown.
Didn't think any of them deserved their own thread but I'd love to know if there is anything interesting to learn about them.
Thanks for looking



1)Lovely enamel leaf on left C clasp which is a keeper. 2)Pretty art glass on right, roll clasp and nicely stamped reverse trying to look older than it is. Both c2ins.



3)Slightly odd, looks like snake skin or faux. Silver tone. Roll clasp arrived in an Amsterdam box which may or may not be its own.2.5 inches across.



4)I'm not one for modern jewellery and it's not silver but I LOVE this!.


5)Two nice pieces of banded agate.

6)Great Czech glass beads with shamrocks. Short at 14ins.


7)More Czech glass pretending to be jade. Fragile with some damage to stick together but too nice to abandon for £2.


8) And this just because I liked the subject matter of the rider enjoying the wildlife!. Mini notebook in rough condition but the enamel is fairly tidy. Has a few notes inside dated 1951 but no idea if that's when it was new.

 

Especially like the flat agate brooch. Would be interested in seeing the back.

 

I don't really 'get' the back. It looks like it's a repair job using part of an old locket with the wing bits soldered onto the surround part on the hinge side but the wing is integral on the C clasp side. And then there are the odd holes! Pretty old though I think. I really liked the agate.

 

It's the 'female' side of a multistrand bracelet or necklace clasp converted to a brooch.

 

Very nice assortment. I like the jadite green one.

 

..meanwhile, I'm eyeing that multicolor necklace and drooling. It looks like an Art Nouveau design in 1990s colors. Late 70s costume or 90s or ...???, and unsigned as usual? (darnitt - I want to SPANK Mr Anonymous sometimes)

 

So it is!. That makes sense now.

Thankyou. It has several broken beads but I'll try to repair it. Stringing fragile glass on elastic didn't do it any favours.

I know!. It's just lovely isn't it. No, not signed sadly.

 

better call it "carnet de bal". sounds posher or more posh or whatever...
and ....Europeans recognize it immediately.

 

The carnet is Indian.

 

could be a female Mongol warrior with bow and arrows. Khutulun.

 

I love that necklace! Is that a tiny hole at the tip? Perhaps for a missing dangle?

 

Thankyou Could be missing a dangle. I can easily find a pretty matching bead.

 

Nice pieces! I love the agates.

 

Lovely finds!

 

Thankyou

 

Agree, most probably from Kashmir, it shows a lot of Persian influence.
