Faceted Diamond mark

I’ve seen this on jewelry before, I know sometimes with a letter is can be referring to the diamond itself, but does anyone know a brand that uses it?

QUICK EDIT: I’m looking to buy it, so unfortunately this is the best it gets in terms of photo quality

Opal or fopal?

I found this in a bag of jewelry and my jaw dropped. I was wondering what you guys thought. Real or synthetic?

Thanks friends 🙂

Sheldon

Sheldon the stray turned house dog. The dog is a godsend. One could say he’s the very best good boy.

What do you think? Is he a staffy?

Very old fruit…

I found these and couldn’t give the woman money fast enough… I’ve been on the lookout for lucite grapes, and I’ve never seen these before. These are so much cooler, the mix of MCM with punk rock? Chef’s kiss 💋 The strawberries with the stems and green bottoms? I love the little green and red berries, I even love the ouchie banana and vagina peach.

This was such a cool idea, me and my son are about to use some air dry clay, sequin, and push pins… have our own craftfest like it’s 1969.

Vintage dry storage jars 🌈

I scored these babies for $4! I couldn’t find anything about them online, but I bought them to make my days brighter, so I’m good with a little rainbow mystery 😁

I’ve had the brooch for awhile, and while sorting some of my collection, it clicked…

Could this be a piece of opal from Australia? Or just kangaroo with a heart of stone…

Green Amber Pendant

My aunt gave me this 25 years ago, and until a day ago I have no idea what it was…

Green Amber, yes?

I can’t get it to let people post pictures so bummer.

Georgia, USA.

My husband found this in our latest box of watches, neither of us had seen a braille face like this before..
Figured yall would enjoy it as well.

It looked like nature made a spiral out of vines and sticks and this was in the dead center… my son and I thought it kinda looked like if Patrick (from SpongeBob) and a tree from LOTR had a child.

I thought about it being a fairy circle way too late… so he will be my scarecrow until the fairy’s get their revenge.

I saw someone post theirs, and I’ve always wondered about mine… I believe it was probably made by a local artist, I’ve never been able to find a name.

It’s about 3 1/2’ x 1 1/2’

Any ideas?

This quote really resonated with me.

I hope this is okay, it’s a little off topic but I think you all will appreciate it.

Found in, “Audels Carpenters and Builders Guide”

(Books from the 1920s on how to build your own house, from laying the stone to laying the roof.

I found these at an estate sale the other day, from what I’ve found, they are from a French fashion magazine, Modes de Paris, in the 1860s

Like today, they were used to show women what was popular, these were when hoop skirts were starting to become the must have fashion choice

This is my oldest ephemeral find and I’m ecstatic they are fashion pieces 😁

This has been in my grandparents bathroom since I can remember. I have always loved it.
