Featured Vide Grenier Finds!

Over the moon with this week's purchases, but I do need to limit my spending a bit! Not my fault there's treasures everywhere.

I think I mentioned this last year, but if you ever find a Jacky de G Paris piece, snatch it. They sell fairly decently, and the pair of earrings I had sold the quickest out of my items so far. Hoping this will do well too! 5e for this guy, so far only two I've seen on Vestiere for rather exorbanant 117+ euros. I won't get that but 30 or 50 would be a nice return.



I had to rescue this poor little guy, he's got one arm still intact and one antena, and one pearl missing, but I know how expensive these get when they're all nice and new and I wanted one of my own. I didn't notice the four front legs look like they're broken as well until I was in the car, they're all the same length but the ends don't look finished. @kyratango do I need to send him to you at some point or is he a lost cause?

He's marked for 800 silver, I'm assuming end of 19th? Garnets or rubies? I know a lot of these are with rubies but I think they're normally paired with diamonds in the pieces I've seen.



The piece de resistance has a thread of its own

ty for looking!​

 

I love the bee! i imagine you can replace the pearl yourself but maybe its paws might be something a jeweler can fix if they can keep enough distance between the flame and the pearls/stones.

 

Rachel-Yr young,footloose,fancy free & live in France-have a blast.You're practically 'Emily In Paris'. Someday If you get married,have kids,buy a house-you'll have plenty of time to learn to budget !

 

I think rubies, they’re pinky.

 

If only I had a stable enough income to support that! One day that'll be my reality haha

 

Yes I agree, I'll have to be on the lookout for something with a pearl that size I can steal...

Excellent! ty OBB

 

The wounded bee is a beauty.
You can't fix those legs yourself, but a jeweller can do that without a problem. It will cost you though. There won't be any flames involved btw.
Finding a replacement pearl won't be too difficult, and it won't be expensive.

 

Calling @kyratango ...a bug needs help !!!

 

Excited to have one! I always watch the auctions on these haha.

 

He also seems to have a broken antenna

 

Oohhh, a wounded Bzz bzz! Charming critter!
Not enough support surface to fix replacement legs with glue or resin

 

Oh that is a shame! He'll have to be content with a new pearl. Thank you for your input!

 

He will be happy for sure! He still can fly with his original wings
