I've been working on cleaning out my Mother In Law's house for several weeks now. I promised myself I would start with the items I could sell at a flea market like Christmas decorations and other household things. Unfortunately I keep getting distracted by all the cool things that turn up. Here are a few pictures I need help with. The Cameo's and tie pins are quite old. My MIL inherited them years ago from her great aunt. As I mentioned in my original post my MIL was 101 when she passed away so these items are old. I'm thinking the cameos came off a bracelet or some other setting, but the backs are highly polished with no marks, scratches or glue. If you hold them up to the light they appear semi translucent in either brown or green. And lastly the opal and diamond necklace. There are no marks that I can see on this so how do I tell if it's real short of taking it to an expert? She had a note with this also stating it was very old.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've had a great time reading about everyone's finds as well as the incredible education on so many topics. Thank you!! PS. The photos are upside down for some reason, but right side up when you click on them.
