Featured Weekend car booty!

Several bits and pieces from this weekend.
Love to hear any of your thoughts about them please.
Thanks for looking

Lovely Lapis with a wannabee 14kt clasp that test more 9ct as do the spacers.
Yellow beads were in a dealers costume £1 pile. 9ct clasp but haven’t tested the spacers yet. Hoping they are uranium glass but I’ve mislaid my UV torch

Cute little plastic brooch



Pretty cuff links and a National Trust set. Makers initials on the reverse that I need to research.

Pretty little turquoise ring. Unmarked but looks and feels like silver .

Gorgeous beads. Some are definitely vintage Czech but not sure about the large pink with the spiral decorations or the odd red/yellow/green ones. Maybe restrung but if so a long time ago.

Cute silver cross (£1.50!) Full hallmark maker TL? and cute handbag pendant- looks old, haven’t tested for silver yet but possibly not.

Thought these earrings were delightful Can’t put my finger on the flower yet.

 

Prayer beads.I have no idea what they are made of? They don’t feel heavy enough to be glass.


And last but not least a fab little Scarab beetle!

 

The flower, Queen Anne's Lace?

 

been waiting for this, jewelryography

 

These are fantastic @KSW! I love interesting beads too,

 

Wedding cake? Murano? Maybe custom made because I wouldn’t put wedding cake with metals, easy break.

 

That brooch is too cute.

 

Seconded. Queen Anne's Lace - aka ant bait in my neck of the woods, but it's sure pretty.

 

Yes! Well done botanical wizards
Otherwise known as Wild Carrot which isn’t such a pretty name

 

Oh no! Disaster! No UV torch!

Charming little ring, and it looks like silver too. What does the inside look like?

Stunning, and beautiful detail.

 

I'm on pins and needles waiting for you to find your UV light!

Very curious about those big peachy pink beads with the spirals too!

Love the green cufflinks with the oak leaves and acorns, also that necklace with the oak leaves and acorns.

 

Those glass beads with the striped 2nd layer are to die for. I'd have to guess Italian, but see what you mean that the other beads on the piece look Czech. Maybe doesn't matter... I would have bought that necklace in a NY minute just for the large mystery beads!

The green cufflinks, gorgeous. I think they call that type of enamel guilloche.

Nice haul!

 

Or maybe dill weed flowers for the earrings?

 

Ooh yes, could be. Maybe those flowers are more likely for the UK although of course jewellery travels more than most items so could be t’other.

 

It's dill weed, definitely.

 

Queen Anne’s Lace sounds much classier

 

Queen Anne's lace is a weed here.

 

Don’t tell Queen Anne!

 

She's busy pushing up daisies these days, aka more weeds, so....

 

Was she famous for her lace do you think? Off to google……
