Featured And random other stuff.

Including old micro mosaic which I scrubbed.

 

Kinda really like the Black Onyx (?) necklace and Amethyst necklace!!!!! Mosaic's PURDY too!!!

 

The "onyx" is glass, 1928 company tag, and I think both it and the amethyst are late 80s ish.

I'm a sucker for anything scarab. The nice thing about the bracelet is that it has millefiori tesserae, and decent ones at that.

 

Check that 5th one, ie the chain, down for gold content. I had one that looked/felt like JUNK. It was rough. Checked it anyway and ...10k. That stickpin might be good too.

 

I MUST HAVE STICKPIN ! I called myself collecting them but you simply never see any worth buying. Isnt that stone a topaz?

 

Some real beauties!

 

Might be. Or a citrine. Or a piece of other quartz. If it's real gold or gold-filled, then you worry about the stone.

 

God. What you find is astonishing. Absolutely beautiful. Do you a light box for your photography?

 

I do wonder about the stick pin and the chain, they both look good. I'll test anyhow. The moonstone or whatever is rather nicely done too.

No light box, just a little studio box and a very decent camera. If anything, the light wasn't that brilliant, the background looks a bit blue - I should have corrected the white balance more.

 

I know nothing but you certainly have a great eye!

 

Nice cache! I need to shop where you do

 

Beautiful baubles

 

I agree, this one gives me the "gold" vibe. But it could be plated, of course.
Soldered links are always a good sign. And that snakey closure looks like Thailand to me.
Research 'Thai baht chain', you will see similar ones.
