On my way to estate sale that turned out to be a garage sale, I found another estate sale that had poorly placed signs.

I was the only person there and had the run of the whole place.

This box was on a table in the front of the house with no price. I grabbed a few other items, got my total and off I went. 20.00 for my pile so let’s say this was 10.00

I never looked inside but it looked good enough to warrant buying it all

Great score, congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

Awesome. Great Native American jewelry
 

Well, it’s all been sorted through and I don’t think I did too bad.

128 grams sterling
1 gram 18k
9.8 grams 14k

1) nice cameo set in sterling with matching earrings

1) Les Bernard costume jewelry set ( collar plus earrings) in the original box.
 

Does anybody know the name of this pattern? I figure if I can nail that down it should sell quicker.

Both pieces are Les Bernard. The blue stones are flecked with bits of gold

Not too bad? Hell, I’d say you knocked it out of the park! 1 gram of 18k was worth it just on its own. Well done. Those are some great pieces.

The stones would be Lapis Lazuli. Nice set!
 

Here are some of the pieces pulled from the box.

Quite a few Native American pieces. Not all are signed but the ones that are seem to be high quality and by well known makers.

The gold is basic stuff, just scrap

The silver is an odd mix but quite a heavy pile

Great Les Bernard set! Faux Lapis. Definitely a lucite or glass or something, hard to tell from the pics, but not a gemstone. I'd list it as an art deco choker demi parure set cocktail/statetement/runway whatever you have room for. I also include the word "lot" in as much as I can. I don't think you should have too much trouble turning it into 100 bucks. Great picks!
 

Pretty cool buy
