Featured Spotting quality costume Jewelry

Party at SeaGoats house !!!
Everyone bring their loupe !!!!

 

And their tote bag!

 

What are your plans with the jewelry? Is it for auction?

 

Possibly garnets.

You put on house sales correct?

The Red Cross pin might be worth investigating.
The bracelets in the second picture look like silver.

I didnt know what the Victorian Watch Fob was but I did like that piece a lot!
The red cross and earring set is signed. It is 3 initials. I want to say it started with a J or has a J in it and its all intertwined together in what reminds me of a deco-type font, if Im recalling it correctly..

Ill get close ups of the pins tomorrow

It was in the box.. Thought Id just throw it in

Yes, I do believe it is a picture frame!

Yes, these will be up for auction

We do, these will be posted live and online.

Ill take a closer look at the 2 bracelets tomorrow. They may or may not have been.
We have probably close to 1000 lots in the building right now..
Details of certain items can get a little fuzzy

 

When I mentioned the red cross pin, I was meaning this one. And what is that thing under it.

 

If you sell these through an online auction.
Maybe you should post the link on the For Sale Forum.

I for one would be interested.

 

Those ships are military - maybe a just post war Japanese souvenir? I am jealous!

 

I believe that one is a pin with some gemstones..

Which war?
I looked older to me amd to feel it on your hand is a bit different than what youd think.
I liked holding it

 

How is the ship bracelet made? On first viewing I thought damascene, but the panels look blue on my screen, enamel? Not the sort of thing most women would want on a bracelet. Sweetheart gift?

 

We had a query about some small sake cups decorated with images of Japanese war ships. Not too long ago. I *think* they were ID'd as circa WWI.

 

We wana see more

 

Love the garnet (or whatever they are) pieces.

 

Unfortunately, I can't enlarge by clicking on them. I'd sure like to see bigger versions so I can be envious

 

We wanna see! We wanna see!

 

We were SLAMMED today staging for Friday.
As soon as I walked in and set my stuff down I was picking things up..

I did get a chance to grab the red pieces before leaving to look at the initials.
Yves Saint Laurent

I looked quickly at the red cross piece. I think there is something written on the inside edge but it's dirty and tiny.
The gold part is thin metal, the back of the cross is rusted so it's metal as well.

We are going to finish staging in the morning and start lotting for the online auction.
Ill get more pictures then!

 

I started circling things that might be worthy of an enlargement picture to determine if they're worth anything, but I ended up circling most things!

That watch fob that evelyb pointed out is likely gold filled. There's a watch fob chain slightly below and to the right of it that looks like it might be from the same era and be sterling.

Lots of interesting items just in these first posted pictures!

 

I think SeaGoat needs an avatar & propose this one:

 

The red cross piece..
I literally can not find it.
Im hitting around what it might be (medal of merit?), but I can not find this one.

American, European?
Modern, vintage, antique?

 

Yves St Laurent jewelry used to sell really well; I haven't had any to check recently, but the Sold prices on Ebay can be pretty spectacular when you can get it to sell. If you're going to throw it, throw it at me! (LOL)
