Featured Some Jewel Pieces I Need Help With

Hi All, went to a sale this morning and bought a plastic container of jewelry for $10.00. The lid was taped shut but I could see part of the sterling brooch so took a gamble and bought it. Below is what I kept, the rest was junk. The 2 bracelets are magnetic - I don't think very old, the silver ingot pendant is marked 1977 London
Several pieces I need help with
any information appreciated
thanks for looking



# 1 gold colour watch or chatelaine with slider? I see them called both so not sure which is correct - maybe both? Only marks are W. & BS on the hook part, found one other and they said USA company but not able to verify. The slider part has 1901 engraved on one side, then the other side has seed pearls and ? not sure what that is. Also, they are set in what looks like a bear paw design to me - point/claws off the top of the pearls - or maybe I'm seeing things. Is there is name for this design of chain?












#2 is a magnetic bracelet (not cleaned yet) with green glass bits on the front that react under a blacklight. Marked Aidmens on the back - to me it looks like beach glass but not sure - any ideas?



#3 flower (lillies I believe) edited - mystery solved thanks to @Bakersgma - it is the Watson Co Mark from Atteboro Mass, USA. I thought it was a British mark

 

Google is either drunk or just messing with me today, this is what it shows when I image search the brooch

 

That mark behind the lilies is from Watson Company of Attleborough, MAss,

 

Wonderful, thank-you so much Bakers, you rock!!!!!

 

You're always welcome, cxgirl!

 

that silver bar was all the rage in the late 70's..

my best friend and his gal, had them made identical....for each other !

 

Looks like an opal that's on the piece with the seed pearls.

 

That’s a silver jubilee pendant ingot, we all had them. Agreed on Opal, and the water lilies are delightful.

 

Both. Chatelaine chains came to be used as watch chains and when they have a slide, they are slide chains. In this case the slide is the lovely opal and pearls thingy, typical of the period.

Definitely drunk. I regularly see signs of a severe drinking problem on google. I've been wondering who to contact for an intervention.

 

thanks Lark, I wasn't sure

thanks bear, I love the water lilies pin

thanks AJ for the great info on the watch/chatelaine chain

lol AJ

anyone have thoughts on the green glass stones?

 

No idea, but that opal is pretty nice. Somebody was asleep at the switch letting that for for $10.

 

Both those bracelets are very modern. Those little round discs on the back are supposed to be magnets for magnetic therapy. Those stones are probably some sort of poured resin or plastic.

 

I come here to be educated about these technical terms
It is an exceedingly beautiful thingy, very lovely and I’m a teensy bit jealous of it

 

It is a highly specialised term, which you may not have heard before.

 

File under Whatsahoosie and whatchamacallit. Whoosiedingie too, although that one's mostly used in conversation.

 

Oojamaflip. Doodah.

 

Oojamaflip is a new one on me. Dingus and dinglehopper.

 

Closet Dutch. The Dutch word is "dinges" or "dingetje".

 

Might be; it's an older word that might have come over with New York Dutch immigrants.
