I found this old listing on Etsy. This one is missing the frame, as you can see 4 little bite marks where the frame used to grip onto the cameo. Cool piece!

its here !
its here !
it looks to me that the actual cameo is in absolutly perfect condition
i mean its probably plastic but it is still 70 years old (vintage?)
thinking maybe after xmas into the new year get a silver frame made with a brooch thingy attached to it and a bail
thinking about getting a quote on an actual inhancer thingy or just buy that from etsy?
i want it to be as wearable as possible
bit sad really the finished piece will end up in the fashion jewlery thread all though maybe i can sneak it into royal jewles
thank you

Daisy accurately predicted that I would find a multi-gem bracelet. And two days later I did! What kind of witchery was that?
Sterling with garnet, citrine, amethyst, peridot and blue topaz. An amazing price at the Animal Humane thrift store.
The stones are very vibrant.
I really wanted one of these back in the late 80s when rainbow gem jewelry was all the rage. It took 35 years to finally get one!
I love my little brooch from TRR. An early little Christmas present to me!

ok confession time
i also got this for $5 (Plus postage)
its not here yet, delivery of everything slows right down this time of year
im not sure how big it is
i just feel sad in a genration the Queen mum has gone from being a much loved grandma to ...well id get struck my lighening if i repeat some of the awful stuff i read on the internet
and HM was the King's grandma, and he loved her
so speaking of the King
i also got this
this was $15 and $10 postage
this was $20 plus postage but its a bit special
see this tour never happened
the King and Queen were ment to be visiting NZ and Aussie to thank us for our war effort like they had done for South Africa but the King had got sick
When the then Princess Elizabeth became Queen in Kenya she and Philip were on her way here as a replacement of that tour that never was
oh dear
do i confess anymore .......
i was thinking now im being more strick on budget perhaps i can allow my self one small thing a week - its not worth spending more because most pieces are plumiting in value worse than a NZ dollar
but even if i was self controlled enought to stick to one thing a week thats 52 new things in a year ...
so i got Eddy (you know he did a term of his gap year here in Wanganui - people still speak highly of his friendliness)
he was $4.48 and im not into thinbles but you dont see Prince Edward often
and then i found this !!
i think their wedding was my favourite royal wedding
this cost $25 but it came with two other royal plates oh dear )
someone has to love it for all the grannies who are gone now, who had it in their china cabinets and kept it for good but never used it, perhaps thinking it would be worth something one day
and now their own kids and grand kids dont want it, possibly even hate it and view it as dust collectorssomeone has to love it for all the grannies who are gone now, who had it in their china cabinets and kept it for good but never used it, perhaps thinking it would be worth something one day
my mum used to buy my sister the odd thing, in the 80's, i bet my sister made sure her's all broke in the earthqauke
i just have to be realistic about what im prepaired to spend
i think we shell use something on Christmas day
i did use some Geroge vi corrination beakers for coctails to celebrate the corrination this year, a china beaker is a very strange drinking vessel these days but it did look pretty with a pink drink
