<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 388297, member: 36&quot;]Went to an estate sale this morning, in a &quot;town home&quot; on a golf course. The neighbors were real pills, calling the HOA and yowling. The dealers couldn&#039;t put a sign outside (the HOA President showed up and got nasty about it) so you had to know the address. They gave out numbers at 8:30 and I was there at 8AM. Got number 1 for the first time in my life..only to find out someone else had A1 - she&#039;d told some sob story and got in first.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d had my eye on some Navajo pearls, but she got to them first. OTOH I got the 14k, solid, cuff links that are going straight to melt. No real design value there.&nbsp; Heh.&nbsp; She blew past the mens&#039; &quot;costume&quot; too quickly, and I know this crew and they miss hallmarks left and right.&nbsp; Two other pair of 14k earrings later....&nbsp; They also seriously blew it on an Orrefors bowl, but thankfully someone else snagged it. </p><p><br /></p><p>They did make me pay up for an Ayala Bar (Israeli costume jewelry) necklace, but the pin went for less. I just got another one by the same maker elsewhere, and the fan pin came this morning - silver with coral and pearls.&nbsp; There&#039;s also a costume necklace, unmarked artisan silver, a citrine and fluorite crystal pendant with compartment, and some other costume and sterling.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]134614[/ATTACH] bits.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]134613[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
