<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 4449622, member: 210"]Now to the church sale story. I got up late and wasn't even going to go, but hubby is watching The Masters, so out I went. Hardly any jewelry.. .it was after 10 a.m. when I got there, and one woman was still tagging items. She had jewelry out, a few pieces, and I asked her if she had any more. She said yes, she wouldn't take it out, so I moved on. I got this sterling piece, citrine, for $15, needs a clasp. [ATTACH=full]382771[/ATTACH]</p><p>Then I found a young woman who I had seen at another local show. She usually sells costume and sterling, but she had a case of fine jewelry. She said it was her mother's and grandmother's. A dealer got there a few minutes before me...she said she is out of the business, but buys for herself. It looked like she had some ivory pieces in gold, and a 14k Asian style dragon pendant with nephrite jade and coral, not my style. She paid $450 for that, and her total was over $1,000, not things I would have purchased, no loss. I got this ivory ring for $5.[ATTACH=full]382772[/ATTACH]</p><p>Missing some of the 14k threads, no biggies to me. I didn't see anything I liked until I spied these. The woman said they were garnets, I knew they weren't, but wasn't sure what the stones were. 18k, Italy, black hematite, yeah, I spent money $175, she wouldn't budge on the price, but I absolutely love them.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]382774[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]382775[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]382776[/ATTACH]</p><p>Any guesses on age on these earrings?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
