<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 4320826, member: 210&quot;]Finally our outdoor shows are coming back!&nbsp; I went to a biannual flea market Saturday, not much to start with. A lady came late and was selling her mother&#039;s jewelry.&nbsp; A local dealer and I were right on top of her.&nbsp; He let me have this, I did see it first and put it back down, 18k etched gold, diamond, blue spinel, needs a side blue stone, $100.[ATTACH=full]353201[/ATTACH]</p><p>I love it.&nbsp; I saw one not as nice, 14k, in an antique mall for $600 recently.&nbsp; He bought some other 14k rings I wasn&#039;t interested in.&nbsp; Story about us later. Then I got a Bisbee Bob piece, research him, what a character, $25.&nbsp; This is huge and heavy.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]353202[/ATTACH]</p><p>The lady had sterling clip earrings for $5 a piece. I had picked out the earrings you see on the plate plus two more Native American pieces.&nbsp; The dealer said</p><p>&quot; I was going to buy them.&nbsp; I let you have the ring.&quot; So I let him choose one of the two pair, and they were a turquoise pair I really wanted.&nbsp; After that, he left, and I spotted this</p><p>[ATTACH=full]353203[/ATTACH]</p><p>Natural material, 14k bale, diamond, coral, blue enamel on a 18&quot; 14k chain. She said $25.&nbsp; So.that was the universe rewarding me for letting the dealer have the earrings.&nbsp; I also found the marcasite and carnelian earrings after he left.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]353204[/ATTACH]</p><p>I decided to let the dealer have the other pair of earrings for $5 before I left.&nbsp; He is a disabled Viet Nam vet who has serious health issues.&nbsp; He always gives me good prices and I have made good money off of his pieces.&nbsp; He was very grateful.&nbsp; I then went to my usual weekend flea market, really late in the day, just for fun and to eat lunch and buy Amish donuts.&nbsp; Around 11:30 am, I found a guy with a big box of jewelry.&nbsp; Here is some of it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]353205[/ATTACH]</p><p>14k gold mabe pearl earrings, $3.&nbsp; Single heavy 14k earring, $1.&nbsp; 14k cultured pearl earrings, $3.&nbsp; Bone? brooch/pendant with diamond and black star sapphire, $2.&nbsp; I bought another 14k teardrop mabe pearl set that needs a small pin repair on the omega back for $3, and I dropped them off for repair there, will show you when they are fixed.&nbsp; I think they are Pierre Cardin.&nbsp; The ring is 14k and blue topaz from the first flea market lady, $50.&nbsp; This next piece was $3, long goldwashed sterling chain, citrine and/or smokey quartz. $3.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]353207[/ATTACH]</p><p>And....the guy had these cool costume earrings for a dollar.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]353208[/ATTACH]</p><p>Except the stones test as diamonds, and while I cannot find a mark, they are most likely 14k matte gold. I will try to photograph the rest from yesterday, and I still have to photograph what I got from my friend..&nbsp;&nbsp; karma.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
