I thought those would be clickable pics

Austria

and Austria Hungary

 

I figured something was up.

 

Most likely lol

Oo thats a good thought. That would be interesting!

 

LOL, It is? Last time I was there it was still in USA, there must have been a war I missed! Louisiana used to belong to France, we bought it from them.

 

It was Spanish in between the times it belonged to the French. Dunno as the Brits ever got a look-in.

 

Waiting for a Sunday night Zoom meeting to start, so I uploaded some finds pics, mostly costume jewelry.
Big honkin' costume cameo locket

Moonbabies


On top, Some faux pearls with a black glass cameo clasp.

 

Ruth! you TOTALLY MISSED the point here, WAKE UP OVER THERE!

 

I found this for a whole $2 on my birthday in a thrift shop that is rather cutthroat anymore. My dad used to say this all the time, and now my husband tells me this...
Sandy Comstock sterling cuff


I overlooked these for a few weeks at a thrift....most are just costume, but these are 14k.

 

Any chance it was once a powder compact? It resembles the ones with a Wedgwood relief on the lid. See you got yourself a Headband Girl. She's nice on the pearls.

 

I will photograph the inside of that piece for you today and post it....could be a compact!

 

Bronwen and the rest of you guys- you are amazing! Yes, it is a compact!

 

I had to have an X-ray done, then I decided to go grocery shopping. There is a thrift shop near the grocery store that is usually over priced and has junky jewelry.

Well, not today. The jewelry was 25% off, and I picked these up.

The chains and pendants are all sterling, the gemstones are genuine.

Bali goddess necklaces, garnet, amethyst, and peridot.


I posted these on the jewelry thread with questions. Reddish stone testing in the amethyst territory, white stones testing in the tourmaline territory. Two necklaces, one pair of earrings.



These are featured on the Sterling Arts website. The pendants alone retail for $179.99. Blue topaz and peridot.

 

hello everyone , i posted these pictures some time ago , a friend of mine painted them , winston night . He lived beside me to the south in a rented house about 8 /10 years ago , he then moved to north battleford and i didn't see him again for years till he moved back here and painted these . he moved in beside me again to the house across the street of me to the east about three months ago . I'm sad to announce he has passed away at the age of 33 last weekend .he also made beaded jewelry ,he also made this beaded ring for me and 2 rings for my wife and i, mine say cheryl and hers says randy , he also made dream catchers i just gave him a big metal ring to start a new one

RIP my friend and neighbour winnie (the pooh) night we lost another artist too soon....

 

Agreed, sadly I squinted and came up empty. LOTs of good signs with these pieces based on tone, shape, style etc. etc. But my eyes can only zoom in before i'm fighting the pixelation of the image. Higher resolution and I think we could find them.

 

so sorry about your friend Lloyd, 33 is so young. RIP Winston

 

33 is way too young. RIP Winnie.

 

untill today i didn't know how old he was i knew he was younger but i pegged him as 38 to 40 years old , he had an old soul , he leaves behind a pregnant wife and 2 young ones , , he just dropped dead of a massive heart attack while stepping over a child gate , he had such a big heart . i had to watch them take him away in a body bag so hard

 

Disappointed to get outbid on almost everything at the local auction this week. Problem is that they put ten items in a lot And only one may be of interest. However I did find these. I don’t want to get too excited yet but I’m starting to think they are genuine.
