Yesterday my local indoor flea market was open, so I took a slow tour of all the booths they have. I spotted some homemade looking jewelry in a locked case. Every bagged piece was marked 5 bucks and the dealer had a 25% discount on everything in the booth. All total these two picks cost $8.18.

These earrings have what I believe are old Turkish holded coins. They're 16mm round. How old are they I wonder?

I also picked up this ring with a green verity stone. I believe it as a genuine Native American un-marked sterling silver piece. Not sure if the stone is considered a natural type turquoise found in the US. I also wonder how old it might be?
It's in well-loved worn condition.

To use a hippie term, those are cool man! They do have wear. I would guess they are quality pieces what ever they are.

The middle coin in the three coin pic is Islamic--Ottoman Empire coin from (what appears to be dated) AH 1227; or 1812 in 'our' calendar years (during the reign of Mahmud II).

Really! 1812 that old. I was thinking they'd be like early 20th c.
The middle coin shows the same reverse as the others coins. Thanks! Don.
