Unmarked beauty.

You needed big earrings to balance out the huge shoulder pads in the 1980's.

Hiya,

These are vintage and in their original box but I can’t find anything that matches via google lens. Google lens comes up with corsage pins or fake diamond stud earrings!

They measure 6cm Long x 3cm Wide, they are not sharp on the ends and there are no markings. They are also heavy.

If these are corsage pins how are they worn/used?

If they’re not, what are they?

Thanks for your help :-)

Help! Is this a KENNETH J LANE piece???

No markings whatsoever. No idea if its plated or enamel? I'm new here. Hoping to gift this to my wife, just want to know more. Thanks!

We believe these are Juliana, but have not been able to fully verify through the Juliana website or books. If we had to guess, we think they are, due to the following iron clad known attributes: four clover design on the clip backs and heart scrolls with subtle texture. In addition, this size, color, cut and shape of rhinestone was used in many authenticated Juliana pieces

Hi. I got this piece as part of a bundle and I'm not sure who the maker is. It seems to have smokey AB Marquise stones, and a lot of rivets in the back along with the unusual pin. Anyone have any educated guesses about maker of this piece? Thanks!

So i am currently in the process of moving house. And while packing, i found my box of jewellery, given to us by my grandmother. Its mostly common stuff, like holy cross necklaces, a claddagh ring which i know the history of - but there is this piece, which i know nothing about. Supposedly given to my GM, by her mother - i should point out that, my GM had altzheimers towards the end. I should also point out that this was 30+ years ago, and i am now in my 40s - but im recounting what i remember of this.

We went down the AI Gemini Rabbit hole on this one. I dont find the ring particularly pretty, regardless of the odd colouring/tarnishing on the body. having done several little experiments (fog test, laser pointer etc) - and uploading numerous pictures to gemin - The results have been unexpected

• possibly quite an old ring - possibly late 19th century
• 'cluster' ring, with apparent 'assymetric' cut on the central stone - which the AI assures me probably rules out anything fishy
• odd number of 'accent stones'
• AI intially speculated that the metal was Silver - but after analyzing the pics - it now suspects up to 14K gold, or Rose gold - it explained that the tarnish may be that the gold was mixed with other metals including silver
• basket design - seemingly this is the open bottom part -

Iv been advised to get a professional valuation - frankly i am here because i am baffled - Iv included a few pics - sorry if detail is unclear - suffice it to say i did my best. Gemini recommended that i take the pic outside, so as to have a natural light source

Id love to know what people think - Is it possible this is actually a valuable antique piece of jewellery. It was out of place compared to the rest of the jewellery. It was for this reason that i remembered my GM saying it was her mothers- again, a stark contrast to the rest of the pieces - which are mostly religious in design, aside from her claddagh.

Love to get some opinions - even if the opinion is - this is a paper weight! Totally fine - just want to know if it is worth pursuing, so any advice and opinions are welcome - sincere thanks from ireland!

I was hoping someone else might be able to figure this out. It looks like "_rsons" but I could be totally wrong.

I took pictures from different angles with different light sources to see if it would help, I'm just not able to tell what it says.

Hey, this is the first costume Jewelry lot I buy. I paid 150$. What do you think? Some things are in great conditions, some less.
First pic is Monet, Napier.
Second pic (might be) Whiting & Davis (cannot find the name on the necklace), Trifari.
The other are mix of branded and unbranded.

Given to me by an Aunt many years ago. Never worn, though.

This is a published book piece, and quoted as one of Joan's favorite pieces.
