<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 9832840, member: 29"]Did my little table top again yesterday. Nice rose gold stick pin. Five quid. And a HUGE brooch which was not cheap. Dealer who sold me it is a miserable git but misses things despite the fact he was engaged in selling a grand's worth of gold to someone. Last time, he sold me Blue John which he swore was amethyst. </p><p><br /></p><p>This, he said disparagingly, was only pinchbeck. I dunno. I've found three or four nigh on identical ones on line which are gold. They're almandine garnets by the look of them. It's feasible that the design was also done in pinchbeck. I don't care, it's in the Hoard now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]490819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490825[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490826[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490827[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
