My parents live in Pennsylvania and they came down for the winter. My mom brought me a box of stuff she found at yard sales up there. Some of these pieces of jewelry are mind blowing to me. And I wanted to share some of them with you. I can definitely tell they are old and she wants me to sell them for her but I don't think I can do that. I think I want to keep them in my own personal collection because I know they're worth a lot and it's just something I'll probably never come across again.
The first one is gold filled. It's a brooch and has and enamel painting of the lady on the front of it.
There were some watches and I got to looking through them a fake Louis Vuitton. A fake Rolex but then 2 small gold filled pocket watches and 14 K gold watch. all three work perfect!
These two are 14 K. The bracelet is broken but the locket has hair inside of it. Pretty sweet and gross at the same time!
This one stumps me. Have not tested yet looks like it's 14 K maybe gold filled has a hole in the end of it. Maybe has a yellow topaz in the end. To me it looks like a tiny kaleidoscope but looking through it I got it so close to my eyes, I poked myself and all I saw was bright yellow.
These two plates she paid $10 total for. 400 g of sterling silver. I don't really have a good place to take a picture because they're so much stuff sitting here. So sorry for the stuff in the background
I'm not going to put a picture up, but there is a k*k ring. That I'm trading to someone for another sterling flatware set tomorrow and I told her I would not put any pictures out there of it....
There is a bunch more Antique jewelry but this one really makes me oooh and aweee over it! 10k gold top with sterling silver back. At first I thought it was missing a piece but looking at it closer I realized there's a hinge on the top. There is a photo inside and it has a picture of a Civil War soldier inside of it. Almost glass looking instead of plastic top to cover the photo. I don't know what it's worth but I don't want to sell it!!! The pictures not that great but I don't care what it's worth I want to keep it! I'm going to make an offer tomorrow for the whole box. I don't want to consign anything I hate doing that. There's also some WWII coins as well. But here's the brooch.
There's a bunch of pieces of pottery as well some signed cloth photos or something. So out of my league. Don't even know where to start. I may start another thread with those later on.
