<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 45934, member: 210"]The Wallace dish is a great find! Fig, the Wedgewood piece has writing and some numbers on the back, and the bottom back of the frame is marked SILVER. I will check it out and get back to you guys, maybe you can tell me its age. The Boucher earrings have serial numbers, too, on the earring backs, not the clips, have to check the patent out. The turquoise is glass, the seed pearls faux, but the screwbacks are marked sterling, the filigree parts looks like chrome plated. Maybe somebody threw spare parts together. I do like them, will save the screwbacks, and convert them to pierced kidney wires to wear. The pair of garnet earrings on the left appear to be unmarked sterling vermeil- the guy tested the posts, you can see silver. The flower-shaped pair maybe gold-filled, rose quartz centers. I like the pair with the colored metal the best- don't know what that process is they do to the metal to make it multi-colored. The sapphire earrings appear to just be set in a base metal, maybe silverplated, clip-backs, strange. I guess the sea dragons are dolphins, old-style![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
