Someone in my area seems to think any day is a good fireworks day, only all I ever get is the noise and none of the pretty. Got anything we can actually see? Keep the images smaller to speed loading, and as usual nothing from a live auction.
The first two are upcoming Whiting & Davis lots. Dunno what to call the birdie set; I can't find any others. The D&E easter egg earrings sold a few weeks ago. NPB the first time, happy camper the next.

Purdy stuff, Ev!
You mean we still have non paying bidders???
I thought they`d all changed over to NBS (Non Buying Shoppers) 🙃

We get both now. I haven't seen an NPB in a while, but this one was weird. Buyer was high bidder on two items and requested combined shipping. Got it and then never paid.
MIA in their entirety are Eurozone buyers. The VAT mess and now the German accidental ban on US imports aren't helping, even without Ukraine.

I just couldn't help myself. I went to one of my favorite antique shops this week and found these jewels.
D&E bracelet with a manufacture's ooopsy. The safety chain loop on the connection end for the clasp is reversed.
Napier "Galleria" set.
Made in Austria Bug with a foiled black opal dragon's breath stone.
to be continued.....

These earrings are unsigned. They are some of the prettiest earrings I have come across. There are the amber two-toned lava stone, but it is the center stones that really caught my eye. They appear to be swirled amber two-toned dragon's breath stones. These are quick pictures, and I didn't take the time to catch the blue veil in these stones, but believe me, it's there.
Although this is not a new set by any means, I've had it for at least 15 years, I finally asked Beekeeper if it was a Schriner, he said it had all the right elements and thought it was one of their many Snowflake sets. Yippee!
again, the picture doesn't do this set justice. The fire in these rhinestones would be perfect for the 4th.

Sandy, I'm right exactly where you are now. What I've accumulated over the last 40 years is overwhelming, and I say to myself over and over that I have to stop buying, but you know how hard it is, so I've decided to just concentrate on buying good pieces one at a time and not lots stuffed with jewelry I don't need. Think that'll happen 🤣?

I'm slowly stopping as a seller, but still go out looking. Because you have to, in case of the Grails shows up.
