    Odds and ends from the charity shop scrap bucket were the pearl hearts,Sterling bead and ring/chains, the broken Joules yellow necklace for repair, the blue tiny glass strand necklace and the two red glass beads.
    I was going to harvest the blue beads but it's rather pretty as it is. The red glass Czech beads I've been picking out of the bead basket every time I've gone into the shop and now got enough for a necklace.
    The fab Amethyst necklace and the glass pearl strand with a very lovely 9ct,real pearl clasp were bargains at £1.50 each. Beads definitely aren't original to the clasp and are scrap as losing their coating in places. Need to find some nice pearls for the clasp.
    -Pretty rhinestone tennis bracelet- any idea of age?- modernish fold over clasp.
    -1920/30s wire necklace that I think were possibly 'pearls' now just glass
    -Fab horses head cap type badge but heavier.
    - St George? on a horse and randomly in a shell pendant looks like he's slaying people rather than dragons?
    -Some silver coloured Deco or modernist type beads just because I liked them!.
    Any information welcome.
    Thanks for looking as always :)

    Horse's head looks like an armorial. I suspect a 19th C military or similar badge. Scallop shell is interesting. Bracelet is 1960s ish.

    I've yet to find another one online but the search terms make it a wide search. It really does look like he's riding over people rather than a dragon.

    That old!. Do these deserve a thread of their own?. I've scoured the internet and can't find anything.

    I think they do: a thread with backses and frontses would be handy. @Fid - quite a few of our armorials have baguettes.

    Scallop shells normally mean pilgrims.

    That didn't even occur to me. I will test it with Mary Contrary Mark III who seems much more on point so far that the previous two. Thankyou for the suggestion.
    I despair of myself though. I was about to put a boring brown wooden and something boring brown bead necklace in the costume scrap bag, looked at it again, got the UV light out and yes, they are Amber :banghead:.

    Not sure yet. I’m going to give it its own thread when I get home from work.
