Featured Hello friends xx Two necklaces,is one aventurine?

Hello everyone xx
I have had a fabulous booty season, have just had the best time.
Hopefully more to come too but have had such a great time I don't want to be greedy (well ... actually ... I DO because I AM greedy but am very grateful for my haul so far)
Have got so much I am clueless on as per but will just do two necklaces for now, don't want to overwhelm the board with my 'citements.

( I did find an utterly lovely thing I think it's divine,I am SO pleased with as well and will just show a pic or two of it because I just LOVE it )

This first necklace I found at the same booty as the other necklace but a week in between,both were 50p. It's 18 inches in total length ( 46cms) and the clasp says SILVER ( it looks a bit rough in the pics, it's silver in colour all over, doesn't look plated to me in hand) and I think it could be aventurine maybe?
Neither of them have any reaction under UV just in case that's pertinent xx







( Got loads of other pics if required) xx

Don't know what this one is but I love it.
It's cold to the touch, the clash
( lol I meant clasp,am listening to The Clash ) has no writing but it feels silver. It's about 16 inches ( 41 cms)
In hand,it's sort of...grey but really pretty. Sometimes it looks grey,sometimes greener





( Again I have plenty more pics ) xx



and omg I almost wet myself when I saw this and couldn't get it into my bag soon enough

** Sorry for the cat/doggo hair **




Thank you everyone xxx​

 

Hi Bou!
Yes, the first one looks like aventurine to me. The second one could be jade, could be chalcedony. Both are very nice.
That cigarette case is gorgeous and a real find! It is antique Chinese Export Silver, perfect, with that dragon and bamboo. Even with that tiny crack and slight dent it is worth a bundle. The dent can probably be pushed out very gently.
Check it for marks, either Chinese, or Latin script initials. I am hoping for WH for Wang Hing, or a similar sought after name.

 

Thank you my lovely, hope you are good x x x x x
I'll go over the case , I have gone over it a few times but I've slobbered over it more and would be easy for me to miss a mark xx
I saw the case stood upright on a table with the bamboo side showing and my heart did a pitty pattt. Knew I'd seen it somewhere so asked how much it was and she said oh a pound. In the end she let me fill a bag of jewels for £5 and was loads of pretties in it! Took a while for the penny to drop, knew I'd seen it before then I remembered. I love it and am SO grateful to the Goddesses of Bootage !
Have found loads of lovelies this year my AJ xxx
Thank you for looking at my necklaces. Didn't even think of either jade or chalcedony. xxx​

 

(speechless) You lucky girl!!!!!

Now I know what you need all that incense for! Honour the Goddesses of Bootage!

 

you had me at.................... I have (had) a fabulous booty ......

heehehe!!!

The case is splendid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

hehe!! That made me smile xxx Thank you lovely Komo xxx

 

I am VERY grateful to them ol' Godesses and hope they continue to enjoy my smoky offerings ! Thank you AJ xxxx

 

NICE, NICE HAUL, Bou!!!!!

 

Of course, I concur with all @Any Jewelry said!
I’d be very excited too with these lovely and cheap finds
Your area seems to be filled with good bargains... here all you get is baby garments, tires and avocado services

 

I think that second necklace is "new jade". I can't think of the right name for the stone off hand. The first is dyed aventurine or something similar. As for that ciggie case.... can we say eyes like saucers, and how fast did you say "OKthanksbye" as you were running off with it????

 

Thank you lovely Aqui! xxxxx

 

You...you were there! I almost couldn't speak for the shookness and I am not often at a loss for words!!
Off to look at *new jade*,many thanks eve <3 xxx xxxx

 

I have been lucky over the years I must say ... I do have to shift through some rubb but tis always worth it <3
Thank you Kyra xxxxx

 

The colour of the aventurine looks natural to me.

 

I thought so too but as we know,am clueless xxx

 

No, Bou, we don't, because you aren't clueless.
Besides, anyone who can spot a Chinese Export Silver case like that, is far from clueless.

 

oh my goodness <3 that was quite lovely to hear,wish there was a LOVE button. Thank you <3 <3 <3 <3
