Feedback on Ebay since 1998, sold a $150 item this month. As a side
note, item went to one of these 3rd party shippers in New Castle, DE.

I've had this piece for a while, purchased it at a consignment store
with another necklace in the early 1990s. (Good grief, was that 40 years
ago??!!) It actually looks amazing on but it is HEAVY HEAVY, and
realized I haven't worn it in over 20 years...
Hi everyone. Purchased this vintage bracelet recently at a consignment
store. When I got it I was thinking that one of the top rose decorations
was missing on the last link, but purchased it anyway. Now I'm wondering
if there actually is a piece miss...
Curious if anyone has run across similar that might point to a maker for
this 28" necklace. Was at an estate with some nicer pieces, 1980s/90s
costume Dior and similar level. I feel like part of the clasp might be
missing, maybe could have had a name...
Just picked this brooch up today so haven't had a chance to clean yet
(apologies!) Any thoughts on possible maker? I liked the design and that
it was open backed. Gold tone metal. Is the clasp (photo last) any clue

cutting and pasting the wording that showed "delivery, picked up at post
office". I advised her to check with t...
Awww, thanks everyone!! I read every message here and it brought a smile
to my face. I had a fabulous birthday -- complete with friends, family,
PLUS an estate sale that had JEWELRY. Was a great birthday, one of the
best. Cheers and thanks for the bi...
No smell for Bakelite just holding it in the hand, and if you do a smell
test, the reaction is brief. With the hot water test or rubbing with
your finger until it gets warm, Bakelite will just give a brief, but
unmistakable scent. I've heard the smel...
These are interesting, but they don't strike me as Bakelite. Did the
Simichrome give a sort of orange stain? It could be these necklaces are
from another country and I'm just not familiar, but I've handled a lot
of U.S. Bakelite, usually one thinks o...
Here is another photo of the clasp, but now I am noticing that the clasp
is sort of a silver-tone and the links and finding are more brass
colored, so maybe is a replacement! It never occurred to me before. The
clasp is quite solid, it really locks i...
