Silver Jewelry and Wedgewood Earrings

[Professor of Engineering]

Hello Everyone,

Tried a little Thrift Store exploration today with my daughter. We found a few nice pieces for short money $ 5.99.

1. Silver bracelet (.925, 1.8 grams)

2. Silver Ring (.925, 2.9 grams)

3. Beautiful Wedgewood (.925 2.5 grams/each less the porcelain) earrings

Thank you for looking

GL & HH

Doc

My wife and i are talking about doing this ourselves. I hope to be half this lucky in our area hunting garage sales and thrift stores. Thanks for the great post!

Thank you. Hopefully i can find some literature to aid me in finding the silver that is not blatantly marked "sterling". I have seen other posts stating that it can simply be marked "950", "900", "STG", "STR", etc. want to separate fact from fiction, but have not found a book yet that helps do this. Any advice Professor of Engineering?

Awesome finds! Those jasperware wedgewoods are so hot right now too, easily $100 with the box, more if you hold out. Dont trust ebay completed prices on those.
