[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 7546982, member: 78465"][ATTACH=full]423186[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]423187[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]423190[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]423189[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]423188[/ATTACH] Hello everyone, Can I do a 'omg what a catch'-post please? We went to a thrift store (kringwinkel) on Friday and usually its a really crappy store where there is nothing to find, but this time I hit the jackpot! I bought these two pairs of earrings for 0,5€/pair so 1€ for the two pairs. Hubby had just passed by them and thought they were 'brol':garbage. I immediately knew they were good when I saw them hanging on the crappy earring stand and I couldn't be quicker to grab them. Anyway: the first pair is gold with blue enamel. There are no marks but I tested them and they are definitely 18 carat gold and maybe a tad more. Some of the enamel is missing but I dont mind. I actually found their lookalikes in a book. The second pair is my favorite. I m actually wearing them right now. They are 18 carat gold coral ball earrings with seed pearls. I would say they are from around 1870. I can't decipher the marks, anyone an idea? Thanks for looking[/QUOTE]
