Who wants to see my haul from today?

[stracci2000]

Oopsie, sorry, got distracted. Here she is.
The setting is made by Belais in 18kt yellow gold. The sapphires are tealish, a color I didn’t yet have. And I loved the profile. So with me it went.

Very beautiful! But honestly, that big sapphire......OMG......so wonderful!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Oh girl, I have tiaras.
The pageant crown is from my antique mall. Unbelievably, it was only $13.00. The other was from a yard sale, and I overpaid at $5.00
One for each of us.... we'll take turns wearing them when you come to visit!

Do we have a tiara thread ?

Yes!

Tiaras

I decided that this forum needs a thread specially dedicated to possibly the most formal of all jewels - the tiaras! Some of you have worn them on their weddings and other occasions, some have only admired them behind show cases or/and in photos. This is the place where we can discuss the tiaras...

Thanks so much, @stracci2000 !! I do love and treasure that big girl!
I treasure the bargains too. From a long line of treasure hunters. My mom furnished our old house with tag sale and antique store finds. She had to get creative with seven children.

We are out antiquing today but I came across these @stracci2000 and thought of you. I did buy a couple of things I’ll share later when we get home

I've never seen Wedgwood atomizers before!
So pretty. I really love the black and white.

I can't wait to see what treasures you found today!!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

So here are the goodies from today minus an EBay goodie that you’ll have to wait for

DH found this when we first got to the antique shop, a whole set of milk glass spice jars. He bought me a set at Christmas but I needed a set with more jars so here we are. Bonus, they are very clean on the inside



I actually spotted this last time I was there, it looks exactly like a Wolf brand but isn’t stamped. Still lots of compartments and easy to hide or take with me. Yes sometimes I actually take my most prized sparkles with me because I’m so afraid of being robbed again.

I thought they were pretty neat! Hey if you decide you want them and I know where to go

 

[stracci2000]

I got this locket on the same day that I found the 'watch parts' necklace.
I finally cleaned and polished it.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

LOVE that locket @stracci2000! Is it gold filled?

 

[stracci2000]

Oh, I forgot!
Yes, gold filled.
I need to do research on the manufacturer, B. MFG.Co

 

[Bluemuse]

Really pretty locket, @stracci2000 ! Love the design!

 

[stracci2000]

Really pretty locket, @stracci2000 ! Love the design!

It was dirty and tarnished. Someone wore it a lot, as the bail is partially worn away by friction from the chain.
It is very satisfying to rehab a pretty old antique!

A little trip to the pawn shop today for a little birthday bling yielded me this.

Antique setting platinum with antique cut diamonds that total 1.10 carats approximately, the center is about half carat alone.

The owner told me this came from the collection of a wealthy woman in town. She comes in about every six months or so and sells to him.

It is gorgeous. So happy for you. What a great find!!!

Thank you @meely and @Luvallgems. I spotted it and it was like there was no other ring in the case, nothing compared to this one.

Thank you @Ontheblackrock15!

@caf you are too sweet but honestly it is hit or miss with the pawn shops. He did take down my phone number in case he gets a good old cut solitaire

 

[AnastasiaBeaverhausen]

Yowzers. Gorgeous diamonds and a gorgeous setting? Nice score! Happy bday, @YadaYadaYada

Thanks June! Now the real test is I have some things coming from EBay that I bought before this. Only keeping one piece so depending on what the EBay stuff looks like.....

In any case I couldn’t leave her there, she is too beautiful to not be admired regularly.

Whoa I love the detail of that Belais! I got a Belais band in December and I am so in love with it. This is amazing.

Thanks so much, @Mreader ! The details are really pretty. I’ll look for your band.

Ooh if you have a photo handy, I’d love to see it. I thought I could find it quick, but no luck.

Not able to pull it out right now to take pics of it alone, but here it is with my oec. When I got the oec I wanted a vintage band to go with it

Perfect pairing with the vintage band!

So if you choose not to keep her, will you be listing her??? Asking for a friend... ahem
