<p>[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 83832, member: 481"]Sadly I've been clearing my family home (dad's moved into care) and there's a LOT of stuff. I'm finding jewellery everywhere, tucked in drawers/tins/cupboards, and it's all mixed up. So I'm hoping you can perhaps give opinions about what might be worth keeping, and what's not? And possible age? I think some was inherited from my great grandparents. This little batch was rolling around in an old tupperware container with blue tack, drawing pins and bits of paper <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. [ATTACH]21364[/ATTACH] About 4.5cm width, no markings - metalware is rubbed, but the stones sparkle (glass?)</p><p><br /></p><p>2. [ATTACH]21365[/ATTACH] About 2.5cm tall, no markings, metalware rubbed - the tiny 'pearls' look fake and rubbed. Costume jewellery?</p><p><br /></p><p>3.

Clasp is bent, petals are missing but it has a lot of charm...</p><p><br /></p><p>5.[ATTACH]21368[/ATTACH] About 4cm - Can't find a hallmark, but there's lettering that looks like GHT... or possibly GILT?</p><p><br /></p><p>6.[ATTACH]21369[/ATTACH] Love this one too. About 2.5cm across.
