Ice Storm (again) Valentine's Day Eye Candy Wednesday

Snow, sleet and freezing rain.  Anyone got some hot eye candy to thaw the roads out with?   Oh yeah, and there's fog too.  Lovely.  Keep the pictures smaller to speed loading, and as always no live auctions.    

 

 

Here's three to start out with.  One is the only sterling rose and heart set I've ever found; they're always costume.  The second is one I made at some point, out of glass and shell beads.   The third appears to be legit Tiffany, but it's not going up on Ebay.

My "luck" at the thrift store finally took a turn for the better last week.  Here's my newly acquired Ciner bracelet. 😎

I finally got my fish jelly belly all cleaned up and restored

this sterling bracelet still needs one stone tho, but its right by the clasp at least.  Its diamonbar but came in a Saks box....wonder if they were sold at Saks?

Replaced the stones around the center pink stone as all were missing. I picked marcasite and think it turned out good

WOW Cleio!  Welcome back!  Love the dragon's breath.  Eve the hearts are so right for this time of year.  Thirry, lucky you on the Ciner bracelet.

 

So here is a little eye candy before I start working on my newest finds.

I'd have jumped on that Chicago bracelet too; I have a friend who collects 1939 World's Fair bits.  I'm not that fussy.(LOL)
