<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 9579608, member: 15376&quot;]<p style="text-align: center">Hello all! Finally getting around to posting the bits I purchased before my trip. I do like these a lot, so excited to show!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Group photo (with one missing) cause why not:</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]462125[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Here&#039;s the lady of the hour! Circa 1860 based on the silver hallmark. The gentleman I got her from was a lovely private collector, who had to get rid of some as his stash had become enormous. He was excited to chatter with someone who was as enthusiastic as he was, as most of the people he sees aren&#039;t chatty apparently. One lady took a vintage pair of earrings but left the matching necklace which killed us both but I digress. I ended up spending 20e at his stall, 10 for this and 10 for the bracelet below, and some freebies which was kind of him.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]462126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]462128[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">This is marked 925 silver, and has seen better days poor thing. The only stone that&#039;s not been glued back on is in a chipped setting. But its not noticable when on and I do love it. He dated it to AD, but I saw somewhere here that 925 wasn&#039;t really used until the 90s?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]462134[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]462135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]462136[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Also from him was this interesting brooch, late 19th? Although the length of the pin....</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]462139[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]462140[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">The last freebie he gave me was this stunning brooch. I loved it and kept looking at it but it was chipped and I was already spending loads. Just before I left he handed it to me. Ignore the wires, this was me in the middle of securing it as a pendant for the airport. Looked rather lovely with a matching scarf I have. What sort of age does this beauty have? Early 20th?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]462137[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]462138[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
