<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 432384, member: 210&quot;]LOL, I do that all the time when I sort my stashes.&nbsp; I forget what I buried in various hoards.&nbsp; Thank you for the information on NA sand cast jewelry.&nbsp; When I googled the topic, it was amazing how it came to be.&nbsp; The designs do seem to reflect the influence of the Spaniards, and images of examples were similar in design to my pin.&nbsp; I hated to spend the $10 (pricey by my thrift shop standards), but my treasure-hunting sense kicked in.&nbsp; And I am glad looking at examples that I did spend the $10.&nbsp; I was at another thrift shop and the ladies told me they have &quot;tons&quot; of vintage costume jewelry to go through in the back, but they can&#039;t get to it and tag it fast enough (they seem to try to research every last piece, and most of it is overpriced.)&nbsp; Of course, I wasn&#039;t allowed to look at it, but they asked me a lot of questions about what they had in their huge display cases....</p><p><br /></p><p>Hollyblue, I thought it looked Asian, too....especially with coral in it.&nbsp; I think the design is a Moorish vibe....so we are all correct in a sense.&nbsp; I love it when I find something that is a mystery and solve it.&nbsp; You guys all rock!</p><p><br /></p><p>And in regards to mulling over retirement, I got this in my fortune cookie the other day</p><p>[ATTACH=full]151441[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
