Message:: [QUOTE="Susan Lucky, post: 216824, member: 4112"]Hi there and thank you for the additional info.  I love the way you think, The way you described my GGmother's possible experience is how I think everytime I hold "Old" antique items.  I wonder......what was your experience, you, the original or previous owner"  and I have a few things from that side of the family.  A pair of earrings that have what I believe to be faceted glass, an old sterling bracelet, that has no markings but was a prize of my mom's. It was my grandmother's sister, who was a wild bohemian in the 20s!!! We have a wonderful shot of her sitting in a one piece bathing suit, a one piece like today, sitting on a rock by a river.  WAY wild for her era. Her name was Aunt Peggy and was a school teacher, never married and died of Strepp Throat at only 40 years of age. So, who knows where her items came from.    And, thank you for the additional information, I did see the thread about the Orchid Brooch. I should send you the pages with the markings that made me believe it came from Italy, aside from the fact of the family heritage. At the 33.00 price I see it listed at, I'll pull mine and keep it: )Again, you are amazing to "meet" and I can't thank you enough for all your help.[/QUOTE]
