my 1982 wedding band was 3 color gold.....all the rage back then...
nice find !!!

 

I really like three colour gold. I suspect this is early 90s and on, with that braid. I doubt it was cheap!

 

Nothing much doing in the rummages at the moment which are my usual hunting grounds. Found this at a Christmas fair for $4 equivalent, the green made a change from the usual black.

 

@Houseful - I don't think I have ever seen a Siam sterling piece done in green.

Very nice bracelet.

 

At some time they cut back on niello and started using colored enamel ....https://www.google.com/search?q=sia...UNTN8KHSXzC0AQ_AUoAnoECA0QBA&biw=1266&bih=723

 

Been a busy time around work. Slim pickings here lately but still managed to find: This piece of what looks like amethysts and chalcedony. It’s in unmarked silver no idea if its old or new inspired by older designs but liked it just the same.

A religious bracelet. The rose beads are a base metal but the chain, cross and charm are marked sterling.

Again with the unmarked silver, the stones I think are lapis lazuli.

This rose pin

And these retro earrings.

 

@Bear - London 1982 on the earrings, right? Now ... whodunnit? Seriously good score on the bracelet, btw.

 

Nice finds!
Your necklace in first pic is an oldie, has an Arts and Crafts era feeling Could the chalcedony be a moonstone?

 

I like the blues in this Lisa Carlson piece.

 

You don't find that..too busy..??

 

Thanks, the green is quite Christmassy!

 

One must occasionally have an outrageous piece of jewelry for when one is feeling outrageous.

 

Sometimes big and gaudy is required.

I wonder about the age, but agree on the moonstone.

 

Possibly, I thought moonstones typically had an iridescent quality while this stone is very misty and lacks it.

 

I have had pieces like that necklace that are recently made usually with labradorite.

 

Try to put it against a black background to see if it looks different

 

Ruth, I am VERY happy with the bracelet. It wears very well. It is not leaving my paws.

Yes, London 1982. I think they're replicas of older designs: the only HO I can find is Historic Originals, who later became Hot Diamonds, and went all trendy!

@BMRT - brooch is probably Polish and the bracelet from Lourdes.

 

I'm with kyra, it looks Arts and Crafts style and era. That's a winner!

Most likely late 20th century Afghanistan.

If it is silver and amber, it could be Polish.
