Thanks all. I don't think it's very old, and probably not terribly valuable, but I really like the shape and color. There's an aesthetic of shape there that I'm learning to better appreciate.

 

as your tastes mature.....so does your knowledge.

 

And vice-versa!

 

Photos later. This bracelet was still on the table on half price day. How that happened I'll never know. Ed Levin narrow bracelet. The one shown is gold over sterling. Mine is sterling with 14k 'knots". This is the narrow version.

Assume design based on the elephant hair knot bracelet.

Or close enough! It's a style that's been around for a while; I have no idea who got it from whom or when.

 

Very nice everyone.
Brad love that round glassware piece. I have never seen that pattern in a round one.

 

I was very happy to find in my local thrift store a massive 1970s TG Green bowl in the Sonoma pattern, very like and complementary to the popular Cornishware. It's 10.5 inches in diameter and 5 inches in height.
I feel some serious baking coming on!

 

That's begging for cookies. My find today may be my first head cold in years. Feels like it. Darnitt.

From this weekend: All sorts of bits and bobs. Iris glass, scrap sterling bracelet and a bakelite bangle from what was otherwise a bust of a church sale. And... a Forget Me Not ring with an initial. Old enough that it's not marked. Another one is 10k and probably synthetic ruby. Michael Michaud (I think) orchid. There's a really narrow Ed Levin bangle in sterling and 14k in the pile. Vintage ladies Gruen - 14k watch and strap ends. One of those Kay Jewelers Open Heart necklaces - 14k. THe prize may be the least preposessing - sterling with a glass ball dangle... but the dangle has a crab mark and is signed Lalique.

 

The coral seems to be missing a flower, but it's the real Mediterranean "red". THe locket may well be gold, and the crystal necklace has gold findings. It's soon to be component parts.

 

oh the forget me not ring is lovely! And nice haul in general.

 

Thanks. It was my last chance this season for a church sale. The one I normally go to wasn't there this year, so I found another one in an old church with an old endowment..and old congregation!

 

Lovely!

 

Nice! Those Open Heart necklaces are very popular and sell well. I love iris glass.

 

I was looking for a particular type of pin today. I found one of them....and this. 39 inches.

 

Me either, I love it.

 

Couldn't sell that here, at least not if anyone knew what it was. 14k? I doubt it's marked, but most of these necklaces had 14k findings and beads. Nice score.

 

No selling it here, either.

 

(rubs hands in glee) In that case, it can to to hoard.Go directly to Hoard!

 

Got this from a friend as he did not want it. It has seen some rough use.
Do any of you see any potential of this being from a famous maker?
it is already on my desk. I quiet like the design.
I should add I could not find any marks
