The family of Schreiner Jewelry Post

The family of Schreiner Jewelry are still alive and kicking. Mom, Terry, is 89, and can't believe how my parents, and grandfathers creations have become so collectable. My dad's , Ambros, famous ruffle pin retailed for $7.50 in the mid 1950ss. It now...

Resolved! Stone Bead Necklace is it Jaspar or Hebron Kano bead or something else?

This beaded necklace is cold to the touch and does not seem to warm up at all, lol, so not something you want to wear in our cold weather. I have researched and I come up with Jasper and Hebron Kano beads, what are your thoughts, all thoughts are muc...

Eye Candy Wednesday...almost Thursday

Might as well put one up. Keep the images smaller to speed loading, and as usual nothing from a live auction. Three from the Prehistory files. The first is 20th century sapphiret glass. The oblong pin is a glass opal-style dragon's breath. The earrin...

Interesting Necklace to share. Clasp is also a brooch

I have not come across a piece like this before. It's a 24" double strand black glass bead necklace with a rhinestone horse head clasp. The horse head has a box clasp on either side and can be dis-attached from the beads and worn as a brooch. It does...

Resolved! Could use some help with this Unsigned beauty.

This one’s had me stumped for awhile. Really nice quality stones. Pretty sure they’re actual leaded rhinestones, no ab coating. Multi tiered attached with round wire. No back stop on the hinge,does have a spring/stop in the front of the hinge, formed...

D & E ?

Hi joolies, This is what I think it is isn’t it ? Whatcha y’all think ? Plus I just wanted to share.

Harvest lots? A question.

If you wanted to get back to doing some jewelry, where would you start? With a brand? a certain type of jewelry? or just harvest some things from harvest and junk lots? I really dont know. I have to do something with my time, ladies. Since I dont sel...

Ebay is picking on me this week

This is a vent, so feel free to change the channel . Three times this week ebay ended one of my items citing search manipulation. I felt nothing was wrong and so did the rep I talked to who guaranteed me it wouldn't happen again. The 2nd time it happ...

Resolved! I'm confused on the 1099 information - can someone clarify it for me.

Okay so my understanding was that ebay would be sending everyone for 2022 sales a 1099 form and that taxes were due on anything you sold more than 600.00. I always pay taxes on all my sales, but have never received a 1099 from ebay. Now I am hearing ...

What Is BAB on Pin?

It`s an intial pin (letters look like KKA? unsure what order ) On the back is 1/20 12kGF along with BAB..hopefully you can see it..what does BAB stand for, if anything? Thank ya!

Is this mark on a rhinestone necklace familiar to anyone?

I've tried G and J and even E but no luck. I hope someone has seen it before. Thanks for looking.

First Eye candy of 2023

Post some if you've got some! Long-gones, never-wases and current inventory are all OK, but please nothing from a live auction. Don't leave any easy tin cans around for the net nannies to chew on. These are three pics from the Golden Age of garage sa...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well. It's been a while since I have been around the boards, seems like I've been so busy lately. Anyways, I got this set recently, and I am wondering if anyone could help me identify it. To me, it just seems to b...
