<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 258688, member: 35"]Was up at my cousin's today and he and his wife said that they hadn't sorted through his Mom's jewelry and they didn't want to inadvertently send something valuable to the thrift. (She passed away several years ago.). So, I said let me take a look and I sorted some gold and silver pieces -- some rather sentimental items which were nice to see -- and the costume jewelry. What I'm wondering is if there's anything in the costume jewelry that is "better" than thrift store. Photos below and I apologize that they aren't all that clear when enlarged. The only piece that I could see a name was a long plain chain with a "D'Orlean" tag on it. There's a cool multicoloured bead necklace, but we couldn't figure out if it is glass or ceramic. There is one vintage Stratton compact and IIRC some people collect them? My aunt was fond of pearl necklaces -- I don't think any of them are real, but I forget how the tooth test works! Thanks so much for your help! </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80665[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80664[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80661[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80662[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80663[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>More pix in the next reply...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
