<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 592241, member: 210&quot;]Houseful, very nice, especially love the watch.&nbsp; I googled the name, wow!</p><p><br /></p><p>I got up early and went to a bi-annual community yard sale.&nbsp; It is hit or miss, mostly miss the last few times.&nbsp; It seems the same people go and set up with the same items....but hope springs eternal.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I got there at 7:30 a.m., people setting up, extremely windy.&nbsp; I walked around and around, seeing what was being put out.&nbsp; Went inside and had a hot dog for breakfast.&nbsp; I had picked up a few things, no great finds, and was getting ready to leave after one last go round.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw a lady had put out an old, huge jewelry box. She must have put it out last, she never has any jewelry (she is a regular.)&nbsp; Another lady was going through everything, I joined her.&nbsp; I thought &quot;rats, missed all the good stuff.&quot;&nbsp; But I got lucky.&nbsp; Under the last pull out drawer on the jewelry box was a smaller box.&nbsp; It had a bunch of costume rings, but this was also in there:&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]176594[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Unmarked, but appears to be Victorian rose gold, hardstone cameo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I started going through the plastic bins she had out.&nbsp; Found this</p><p>[ATTACH=full]176595[/ATTACH] </p><p>14k opal necklace</p><p>Then in another bin I found this, my all-time favorite of the day</p><p>[ATTACH=full]176596[/ATTACH] </p><p>It was on a costume chain, and I went back to my car to do phone research.&nbsp; I thought it was a Victorian watch fob with etched green glass.&nbsp;&nbsp; This morning I saw the red spots, and figured out it is bloodstone.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what the metal is; I will have to have it tested.&nbsp; I believe it may be 14k.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did pick up some sterling from the lady, no great shakes, but got a dragon&#039;s breath ring, a Native American malachite necklace, and a few other things.&nbsp; And a ton of costume jewelry, again, no great shakes.&nbsp; I did buy her big old jewelry box (still had the key) for $3.&nbsp; And the prices?&nbsp; Everything was a quarter, but since I bought so much, I got a discount and paid $8 for a load of jewelry and the jewelry box.&nbsp; (I will post more pictures later.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
