<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 923027, member: 51"]Have to think I might have been the first serious jewelry buyer (by some divine miracle) because someone would have grabbed everything I got. Who would leave a Boucher pin, Hobe pin, Hattie Carnegie, etc etc at $5? Or maybe people got fooled because at first glance it honestly looked like there was nothing older at all. It was really a sale that appeared like there wasn't much for re-sellers. So so much new, 20 year old Macy's merch, every room, that kind of thing, hard to even describe. Clean but packed, almost nothing older and 99.9% of the jewelry (and there was TONS) was newer, not high end and not interesting. I even walked away from it to check the rest of the house, came back and only after digging found the best pieces. They had it displayed in sort of an unusual way. (Thank goodness!) Also sale was on a Wednesday which might not have hurt. Of course wondered what I missed, but then spotted the photos listed (sale went on for 4 days and was still online) and unbelievably I don't think I missed anything based on what was in the overhead photo of jewelry. I can't believe it, either.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bracelet is awesome, but sadly has a lot of finish loss on the metal:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]201905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]201906[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
