<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4531798, member: 36"]As promised. Estate no-sale or estate no-sale, I did find some stuff. The glass is signed. What I thought was Swedish silver flatware was Swedish silverplate. (sigh) OTOH the jewelry/junque/antique store turned up trumps. Dunno who made the rhinestone piece, but the pearls are pearls. The cuff is a bummer - found a side to side crack when I got it home. Kate Spade. Glued it but... darnitt. The silver bracelet is heavy and marked sterling. Need to test it - that came from a yard sale. The heart and bitty pearl pendant are both 14k. The chalcedony and labradorite earrings aren't marked and I haven't tested them, but the the metal is incredibly soft. The prize of the month may be the camphor glass. It looks like rhodium plate, and is, but the stone dead center goes ZING! to the top of the diamond tester. Checked it twice. It's too old to be moissanite.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]400618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
