[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 9742241, member: 78465"][ATTACH=full]476784[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476783[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476782[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476779[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476778[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476777[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476776[/ATTACH] So, these are my latest finds from the last few weeks. Nothing amazing spectacular, but still nice and shiny bling. The leather box arrived today from Italy and I got it for a steal! I love old boxes...this one even had a few coral pearls in it when I opened it! Fun! The Georgian paste button/pendant also arrived today. What can I say? If I buy one, I buy many...I cant help myself I love the fact this one is a decent size and I can wear it all day long as a pendant. Didn't pay much for it, again. The apricot pit monkey (a baboon maybe?) is so cute! This technique is called Heidao. I believe my monkey, who lost its eyes and a toe, could date from the 19th century and come from China. Although I m not sure about that. I just bought him because he is cute and fun. The coral brooch arrived last week. It was the most expensive item of them all at 30€ (incl shipping from Italy) I believe its coral and base metal and it could date around the 1920s. The earrings are fun! They look a bit like saphiret glass. They change color from brown to blue. but in fact, the 'glass' is plastic. Love to wear them! No idea about age there, these could be brand new. The art nouveau brooch is well...art nouveau. I would guess around 1915-ish. 800 silver with lapis lazuli. maybe German? And the bracelets where something I found 2 weeks ago. I found 5 of these same tortoise bracelets for a few euro s, so I had to take them home. I dont think you can sell tortoise these days, but I don't care. I love wearing them. The 'amber' heart, I got it in a lot of jewelry last week. I m not sure about it...my UV lamp gives a weird result. i think its maybe reconstituted amber. Still nice and I love to wear it. So, what do you think about my finds?[/QUOTE]
