    I was driving last night and there was something poking out of a bag in a trash pile that my wife would want for Halloween decor. So, I got out and looked inside the bag and the contents looked interesting. No garbage, just 'stuff.' So I just put the whole bag in my trunk and brought it home to sort through.

    I found a little tin with this little jewelry lot in it. I thought the little winged woman was Tinkerbell. I was very wrong :eek:. The 10K piece has a mark but I can't get a good shot of it. The only other two are marked SLAA.

    Anyhow, not sure if there's more than just scrap value here, but would appreciate any insight. I know I don't have great pics of the stones.

    Thx for looking, peeps!

    I like them. I think the cute little nude is just a fairy necklace, not a demon. Ha ha.

    Who on earth DOES that!

    I wonder if someone had stolen them and then dumped - or some wronged family member? Weird.

    The fairy necklace is fairly valuable - it's a Trollbeads 'fantasy' necklace. Very nice! The mark LAA is a Trollbeads mark.

    The driveway was full of miscellaneous stuff, some furniture, luggage, a small bar, etc. Almost looks like an eviction or something.

    lol. It could be an eviction as mentioned, a bitter divorce, death, ....it is odd.

    Thanks, NewEngland! I did see some of that in my searches, but the "S" kind of threw me. Appreciate it.

    In hindsight, I should have grabbed all 20 bags!

    Very nice I was going to say Tinkerbelle too, but I read more.
    All I find in trash is trash. Great finds.

    Update: I pulled out the rings for another look, and in the first photo above, bottom row, second from the left does have a marking. IRID PLAT. Not sure how I missed that on the first go. Also, the stone is 5mm x 3mm high. I did a rough conversion to carats using those measurements and this is about 1/2 carat. Maybe I will get a jeweler to grade it for me...

    Sounds like I need to go trash picking! Free platinum, gold and sterling jewelry? The price was certainly right. :singing::singing::singing:
