[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9610181, member: 5398"]I’m a little late replying—my internet service has been off and on, off and on. Thank you, [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER], I think I understand now that the way I use Antiquers may be different than other people. Before I retired, I wrote grant proposals, private investment prospectuses, and business plans. I had to be skeptical of information that people were providing and do a lot of research from multiple sources of information. Now that I’m in the process of researching and documenting hundreds of pieces of jewelry I’ve collected over the past 20 years, I’m doing more narrowly-focused research, but I got caught up in this Norwegian buckle thread because I’ve been working on my tray of vintage Scandinavian jewelry. I know that some members are exceptionally knowledgeable about certain types of jewelry, but I don’t use Antiquers often enough, and don’t remember everything I read to know exactly who all of the experts are, and I really don’t want to read through hundreds of pages of past posts to figure that out. A one-page summary of a member’s areas of expertise and experience would be helpful, but I understand people wanting to keep their profile private. The expert I do remember who helped me with some Austro-Hungarian and Czech pieces, and a pair of Art Nouveau/Jugendstil cufflinks is you, Any Jewelry. The way you explain things in such detail, it’s obvious that you’re a credible source of information. I also know Bronwen is the cameo expert, but I only have one cameo in my collection and don’t find them anymore. Now I’ll remember that Cheryl is a silver expert.[/QUOTE]
