14KT gold finds for today

[mimiwells]

We went to a yard sale and picked up all of the below for a song literally...all 14kt.  The bracelet which I think is sweeeeeeeet is missing two turquoise balls...

Sounds like an awesome score, but I cant see the photos.  Think they may be too large?

Beautiful, love the turquoise!

[mimiwells]

I am unsure why my pics are appearing so large.

Myself, I don't usually have any prob with large photos but, the last few I've seen have been absurdly truncated - like I don't see what the subject is or only some small part of it. And now, as I return to this thread only a few moments later I see something very different (meaning I can now see the entire pieces). Weird? Must be  a "phone" thing.

I'm a dinosaur and don't have this kind of phone - only a PC. If/when I start hounding estate sales or otherwise find a need, then I will consider getting a phancy phone. Or perhaps I'm just waiting for that all-in-one device that attaches to the brain/retina to deliver email, conduct online research, has no monthly fees, and doesn't need to be recharged.

Hrm, 'edit' button lost? I was going to say, "and plays my favorite shows & movies".

Not really related to this but people viewing from phones are not getting all the description in the listings and the photos are very fuzzy Wonder what that is all about? I'm sure that'll make for a few buyers remorse purchases and red donuts for sellers

[mimiwells]

Thanks folks

Mimi, it's not just that your pictures are huge, but they don't automatically resize down to display on phones - they auto-crop instead so all I see is the left-hand edge. Background, none of the piece. It might have something to do with the way pictures upload via mobile.

It's happening on my PC and the other boards as well.  Just refresh the page and the pictures will re-size for viewing.

Nice score !

I love the men's watch, I wear a similar one as my every day watch. 

[mimiwells]

Thanks all.  I just spoke to my jeweler who also has a fondness and is quite smart with older pieces, he just advised me that the pendant on the far left hand side is definitely pre-1900's, and he believes is actually like 1820-1840,  There is a small problem with it thought, the little hooky thing on the back that attaches it to the open gold oval needs to be soidered closed.  Otherwsie all good.  Would you try to fix this or sell it as is?

[dream*peddler]

Mimi, I love turquoise and gold and I love that pendant.  If it were me, I'd fix it and keep it .
