Lots of random stuff... batch 1

Thank you! Just spotted it. Is abalone the same as mother of pearl?

 

I think it's some kind of coin...

 

The coin I see that has Victoria on one side and Britannia on the other is a penny.

I have seen enameled coins before. It's something people did.

 

I'm seeing British hallmarks on the snake ring, but the snake pin seems to be costume.

 

Yes, that's what I thought, too. But I thought there was a company mark. I guess it was just an irregular finish. I still like it.

 

The date letter for the "hairy" pendant is a lower case h for 1882. Note that there are versions of this mark set that exclude the Duty Mark (Victoria's head.)

Silver pendant and that ring have British hallmarks, pendant is indeed an enamelled coin. Love the seal spinner. The brooch is alpaca which is an alloy with no silver.

 

@Kelly McEvoy there is an app called camera+2 for iPhone. On Macro setting it’s pretty good which may help.

 

OOOHHH!!! Those earrings are fabulous! Black dot pastes, in Georgian era or style.
