So I found last week two pendants, an owl and a "tsarouhi", the traditional greek pointed man's slipper with a tuft on the tip, in a box with rubbish, nails, screws etc in my late friends grandpa's workshop. His wife had told me to clear out and I did. I couldn't believe my eyes no one had noticed them before. So they are mine now!
The owl looks gold plated and has a 925 stamp on the back, the slipper has also 925 stamped but there's a mark I can't make out and 268 or Z68 also there. Does anyone know what this means?
And then yesterday I found a buckle-shaped silver piece (or maybe is it supposed to be the greek "theta" also stamped 925 on the back and possibly a maker's mark I can't make out. "ONAR" is stamped on the front, this means "dream" in ancient greek! It was lying next to a planted tree's roots in the dirt on the town's square.
And after that I found a hinged earring on the street. It has three small stones, and is also stamped 925. But there's also a small "n.60" and another symbol (R?) before that. Does this have anything to do with the stones' quality?
I think jewelrywise I did well for this month (some days are still left but I would be too lucky to find something more), especially since all are eyeball finds :-)
