<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 382839, member: 51&quot;]So here are the two pieces I asked about.&nbsp; A bit of an update.&nbsp; I was the first person in the door for jewelry on half price day, so quickly got these two plus some other 1/2 price jewelry items (to be shown later).&nbsp; Since I had looked carefully at the bracelet the day before, didn&#039;t really check it too carefully --figured for $10 could not go wrong.&nbsp; Decided to get the matching necklace, now at $22.50, down from $45.&nbsp; Everything was pretty quick paced as more and more people were coming in the door.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, once home was examining the bracelet, apparently between the time I was at the sale on Friday and the purchase Saturday morning, someone had broken the mechanism!&nbsp; They must have been confused how to get the piece on or something, but a tiny piece of plastic is now chipped by the clasp and it doesn&#039;t close. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie48" alt=":grumpy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Well, I&#039;m not totally crushed... it still is an unusual piece, and maybe the necklace is the big winner anyway.&nbsp; I went back for the bracelet but wound up getting that plus some very cool enamel pieces too so pretty sure I am going to make money on this lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can see the interesting mechanism in the bracelet.&nbsp; These may have been a set (??) or at least I think from the same maker.&nbsp; Note that the main &quot;panel&quot; (...anyone have a better word here?) on the necklace has metal rods in it as well. Although I think they just function to hold the two pieces together --the necklace does not open like the bracelet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also did the simichrome test and both pass w/flying colors.&nbsp; Curious if anyone has a name for this color, general observations, country of origin? dating?&nbsp; Seems kind of &quot;Josephine Baker&quot; era maybe.&nbsp; Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]132352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132353[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132354[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132355[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132356[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132357[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132358[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132359[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132360[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132361[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
