Sometimes a therapy run to the thrift store is all I need after a hard day at work, so yesterday I brought a tub home that I could barely lift. I mean barely. Surely weighed 120lb. So heavy I couldn't lift it using the plastic handles--too much bend! I only buy these a couple times a year, and to be honest, I haven't had any major scores from this particular thrift. My luck changed last night.
The silver cuff bracelet... I just can't identify it! Bright red acid test / sterling. Carved plastic-looking music motif on the top, screwed into place. Screws look pre-war to me. 1920's maybe? Any help on the style or name would be appreciated!
Then the 14K flower brooch. 19.2 grams of 14K. I though it was 18K but after about 5 minutes the gold sample had become murky and discolored. Reckon I can squeeze $500 out of it on ebay. $800 OBO. That pays for the tub, so the rest is cheddar!
David Yurman Onyx bead necklace is good for $150. Found a nice Lois Hill cuff bracelet (just let it go to a coworker for $100 which is petty theft), one nice Silpada piece, an Anatoli double strand sterling necklace, and many other bits and pieces. Oh, a nice 10K bracelet with stones too. A good tub without the gold. An amazing tub with it!
Been awhile since I shared a find. Thanks for looking! HH out there, folks! People are getting lazy on the jewelry these days, may it stay that way!
