Long time since I got around to posting new finds. Put some items up in What Is It today and while I was photographing I snapped some of these beauties:
The standout pieces value-wise:
1. 1.5 Carat 14K White Gold Diamond Ring -- this was passed by because of the funny arthritic clip on the bottom - makes it look like a cheap adjustable. Also, the shank of the ring was removed to install the clip so it was entirely unmarked. A real fun "Gotcha" find. Estate Sale.
2. Imperial Jade and 22K Gold Stud Earrings. The Jade in these earrings absolutely glows. They are going up for auction next month. Hoping for $3K. Thrift.
3. 18K Gold & Black Opal Studs. Best Black Opal I have ever seen. Not a doublet fortunately, but quite thin. They are going out to GIA. Thrift.
4. Antique 9 Carat Gold Ring Found Metal Detecting in good old NJ. Waiting on an age assessment in What Is It forum.
5. Gorgeous many carat white opal, diamond and 14K Gold Necklace. Opal is a honker -- 15+ Carats. Bought this one out of a junk bin at the COllingswood NJ fleamarket.
Other treasures. The silver things are all up in the What Is It Forum. The gold necklace with all the multicolored pendants was found by my brothers girls friend on a hiking trail. A real eyeball find. 14K Gold - but the stones are bogus, I think.
Happy Hunting to all. Will try to post more often. Rudyard.
