<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 284462, member: 147&quot;]Hi everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>I posted on the silver board about a house call I did last month because I needed help with a silver bowl I got there. I also got a lot of jewelry and was encouraged to show some of it. So, if you read the post on the silver board you can skip the following long story and go right to the photos <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I went to a house call last month. Typical call - I thought - I get the all the time. &quot;I have tons of my mother&#039;s and grandmother&#039;s jewelry.&quot; I get there and everything was bought in Chico&#039;s <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie55" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, this time they had their mother&#039;s, grandmother&#039;s, great grandmother&#039;s and great great grandmothers! I was in heaven. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The man who called me said his sister passed away intestate and his siblings voted him executor of the estate. No one in the family wanted any of it except two or three pieces. If it were me and my family&#039;s jewelry, I would have kept all the gold and silver and a lot of the costume, but that&#039;s just me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent 3 days sorting through and testing the jewelry, picking what I wanted and helping them decide what to throw away, give away and what to send to auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got a couple of other dealers involved, one who sells vintage and antique clothing, accessories and textiles. One who sells Wedgwood. A third who sells ink wells and misc. antiques. They were all very, very happy!</p><p><br /></p><p>The following photos are some of the pieces I got. Some has already been sold, a few I still have to photograph and some were damaged pieces that will go into a harvest lot so not worth posting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to go on so long, but I thought you might find the story interesting <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>3 Bohemian Garnet Pins:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]91354[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>14k, Amethyst and Pearls Pin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]91355[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>14k, Enamel and Pearl Pin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]91356[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>14k Hardstone Cameo Pin (I love this one!!!!):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]91357[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>14k Hardstone Cameo Ring, the box is an old one I had already:[ATTACH=full]91358[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>14k, Seed Pearls and Jet Pin:[ATTACH=full]91359[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s 6, should I keep going???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
