Or something like that. Post 'em if you got 'em. Please no current auctions, and keep the images smaller for faster loading. We may still have some poor souls on dial-up.
Not old, just a really good repro, but it's at least four inches wide.
Two I just finished. One is hand knotted crystal beads. The one on the right is rock crystal. The beads were drilled so that I couldn't get the cord through them. One had to be soaked in vinegars and reamed to get the old thread out. The beads were all hand cut.
Probable Japanese earrings with reverse cut opalite glass dangles.

Here are a few that have found new homes recently.
9ct ring with large red stone.
Chinese silver enamel frog on lily pad charm
Faceted Bakelite necklace with gold spacers
And then this found a new home yesterday .... ours!!
Bought this for my husband, he collects quaichs and I thought it was one, but he says it's more likely a porringer. Still loves it and willing to try drinking scotch out of it, anyway!
Heavy at 300 grams of sterling, hallmarked English, 1915. Love the simple almost arts and crafts look, and the patina.

Here are a few more of my most recent trip finds:
Really love this necklace! The stones are glass and the enamel links are just wonderful.
Another great older necklace with green peking glass beads and the green cube beads fluorescent under a black light.
and this life sized mouse brooch is so over the top, I just fell in love!

This set is not mine, a friend asked me to do stone replacement. It is one you don't see very often Blythe & Blythe
This was a $50 eBay purchase I received in the mail Monday. There was no photo of the back and most of the photos were blurry. It is 18K and works. There is one spot of enamel damage on the bow but the ones in the photo are reflections.

CAV - What a score on that lovely watch! You must spend hours pouring over eBay listings with your Eagle Eye to find such things. Congratulations on finding this beauty!
