Was hoping to win this, but went a little more than I expected

God laughs when people make plans

It is stunning, charlie.
Who knows, maybe you'll see one at a car boot sale some day, and the seller won't know what it is.

 

So hope we all!

 

Always that possibility my friend

 

That's beautiful! I'll take one of those and a pools of light necklace as well.

 

I'll see you both those and raise you anything by Schiaparelli.

 

I bought a lot junk jewelry a few months ago because these two were in it:
There are still treasures out there

 

Good shot! Still not have been able to catch those mis described... someone always upbid me

 

I've one piece, bought from someone who thought they were clever, but I was cleverer still.

 

I had one that I got for a steal. Placed it up for auction and if I recall correctly, it bombed and sold for about 1/5 of what I was expecting.

I thought I no longer had the photo, but I found it!

Right side, middle.

 

I almost gave in at a show this summer on a POL necklace, bracelet and earrings in sterling. It was a beauty but i didn’t want to go $2500.

 

Old photo, it's hidden somewhere in the Hoard.

 

Wow, prices really have gone up since I stopped selling a year or so ago. Although I guess having the whole set, someone could ask a high price and it will sell.

 

Jabot pin! Love!!!
Are you sure it is not butterfly wings? The brownish part is the result of exposition to humidity...

 

I am, I looked at it VERY carefully under a loupe. I doubted myself first off.

 

I bet the guy still has it. He told me that no one even looked at it and I was the only person who knew what it was. It was a beauty in pristine condition but the earrings were screwbacks and killed and I really didn’t want the bracelet as I’m too hard on jewelry on my hands so I pretty much stick with plain silver or gold. He wouldn’t split up the set and wouldn’t budge from $2500. I didn’t take his info and I figured there was no point. At this stage of life I really don’t collect anymore unless I trip over steals (which we all know do happen) and pretty much stick with NA, vintage Mexico and Peretti but a POL necklace has always been on my “list” but of course I only want a great one at a price…

 

Oh, I read the original post too quickly and my brain assumed it was something that had already sold. Steep price, but eventually might sell. "Eventually" being the operative word...lol.

 

A few years ago I posted my first Amsterdamse School saphiret brooch, in the meantime I've found a second one.
Both are base metal, and even though I usually only buy silver Amsterdamse School jewellery (investment as well as enjoyment), I had to buy the saphirets of course.

 

I have 3 pieces of Saphiret and one that I think is sapharine. Two brooches, both broken, one pendant and a sapharine necklace.
The necklace was £2 in a charity shop. Can you imagine how quickly I scarpered out of there with that?!

 

Faster than I would, but only because I can't run any more!
