    Thanks. No idea what it says, but it's old.

    Few bits from Charity Shops. The bangle is gold plated but looks good and only £2.
    The agate brooch is old with an old C clasp but I’m not sure what the middle stone is (looks more like glass) or if the rest is silver. £2.95.
    The religious brooch is hallmarked Birmingham silver, the bow brooch is marked STG silver. 925 earrings, Amber chip bracelet all £1 each.

    The agate brooch looks like glass to me too; they often were.

    Oh, gerroff, you got Victorian Scottish hardstone at a steal. Silver, agate, might be amethyst, test it.

    Definitely selling that locally; I know a dealer who loves coral, and no way would I trust eBay with something like that.

    Gumps, a San Francisco luxury goods store. Famous for its quality China imports, including jewelry, back in the day. Beautiful necklace.

    I didn't buy jewelry at Gumps, but I bought the most beautiful perfume, Helene by Rance.

    I had an to see my optician, and the thrift shop was around the corner. These were somehow still on the bracelet rack, $9 for both.

    Mine, said Smaug! Little did they know they were disputing a dragon. Not wise, if the dragon is in need of a snack.

    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, wizards or jool people.
