Don’t know what this is. Doesn’t seem like turquoise.

The stone is throwing me off. It isn’t dyed except some of the brown on the very outer edge. Possibly that’s from the silver but I doubt it. It just looks like a conglomeration of stuff and not true turquoise. The pendant is marked 925 in tiny font (...

Coro trash or treasure?

I don’t know how I do it, but I always seem to find the pieces that have had a rough life. What does that say about me? This Coro piece seems older with the C clasp and seed pearls. Of course some are missing. Look at that fire in the green rhineston...

Czech * Slovakia

Here’s another dusty brooch, they are drawn to me. The clasp on this one is tiny and tricky to open, but possible. LOVE that color! How old do you think she is? Does the name written that way give it away? Czech * Slovakia Mermaid
