Miscellaneous Costume & Fine Jewelry From Thrifts & Consignment Stores

My wife likes the Thrift & Consignment stores in the U.S. mostly because the prices are usually reasonable and some true-deal finds can be had. She suggested that I upload something else than Vases so I decided to show some of her finds. The eagle on the top left is carved soapstone and the peacock on the right has a ruby eye and an elaborate show of marcasites for feathers and is stamped 925. The green Chrysoprase & Sterling necklace was oxidized black so we cleaned it up and is stamped "Sterling" with other marks. The other necklace is Sterling framed with a centre Amber cabochon. The Arts & Craft copper "Cats" picture frame Pin is unsigned but very old. There is a Trifari Pearls Tortoise with ruby eyes and beneath it is a pendant with an elaborate Marcasites frame that has a round Celluloid pendant in a Tortoiseshell colour. The Cameo pin and pendant (has a bail) has an elaborately carved 10K Gold frame. The large Amber Stone brooch is marked Sterling on the frame and the the Star carrying Angel is stamped MYLU. The pearl and rhinestone brooch is marked Pat.Pending and has a very different clasp. The crystal Intaglio earrings have rhinestones and elaborate frames and are marked WARNER. The pendant on the lower right is unmarked but has exquisite Aquamarine and Amethyst Stones in an elaborately chased frame. RER
