More "cold gold" today...( 2 rings) , and some old silver ...that wind was moving it

around at the beach today.


Hi

Temps were in the low 30's , but felt like low 20's with the strong winds; nice to be out in the brisk weather.

Found the 2 rings in damp sand.

White gold ring ( 2.61 gms ) is not marked, and it seems that maybe someone removed
whatever stones ( 3 ) were on the band ... acid-tested this ring 3 times....all tests produced 14 K .


Yellow Gold ring ( 2.53 ) is stamped "Orange Blossom" 14 K...here's a bit of info on this jewely manufacturer...been around for a long time.


Orange Blossom Jewelers

by on November 10, 2011

Orange Blossom jewelers started in the early 1900’s. The company was purchased in 1990 and all molds for the jewelry were destroyed. Some Orange Blossom jewelry is still being produced in Canada.
In 2003, Martin Ross Group Inc. purchased the Canadian division of the Orange Blossom Company. They are known for their beautifully fashioned engagement rings and wedding bands and are made with high quality components using creative jewelry designs. Traub Manufacturing Company’s Orange Blossom line offered grooms wedding rings in 1928.
Jewelry collectors and brides wanting a stylish vintage diamond engagement ring or wedding band are attracted to these beautiful hard to find rings.



Found the old silver bracelet at low tide shoreline...it looked so pitiful.....caught in seaweed...almost discarded it to the junk pouch.It was very difficult to clean .....but did my best.

The links on the bracelet are held together by tiny curved hooks...I think there is a small segment missing. The bracelet is stamped 925 DBJ ( De Beers Jewelrs )


Here's some pics...

thanks for looking

Thank you, Dynamo76,

I'd be happy to share information regarding cleaning of tarnished /encrusted finds:

For heavily tarnished /encrusted silver, I electrolyze the item for several minutes at a time / followed by a warm water rinse ,and then carefully remove any loose encrustation each time; after all the encrustation is removed ( may take several "zappings" & rinses ) , I remove the remaining tarnish by soaking the item in Tarn-X for a few minutes/ followed by warm water rinse/ followed by soft scrubbing ..I use a toothbrush with Baking Soda.

If necessary, I use a Q-tip dipped in Tarn-X and Baking soda to remove the more stubborn tarnish

With less tarnished, non - encrusted finds ( including non -collectible coins) I soak them in Tarn-X for about one minute / rinse with warm water/ gently rub with thumbs and forfingers ...sometimes or not, using a bit of Baking Soda.

I hope this has helped you ...if you have any questions, you may PM me , and I will try to assist you further.
