I've been lurking around these parts for a while, and finally got a few good pics of my antique finds. First up is what I believe is an OMC in rose gold. It was listed on ebay as "rose cut", which it is not, and 3/4ct, but it measures closer to 1ct (I haven't removed it from the mounting yet). The seller didn't claim a color for it, my best guess is around J/K. It looks on the shallow side and has some flaws, but no chips and the price was awesome. I love it wonky-ness and all.

I just got this pretty little addition in the mail, a 10kt white gold bracelet. There's a tiny diamond in the middle, and the green stones are likely glass. I had been on the hunt for a brooch to convert to a bracelet, but found this instead. It's on the short side, which is perfect for my boney wrist.

And this ring I found on Ruby Lane. It's a bit, hmm, different. The seller called it rose gold, but it looks like yellow to me. No markings but it tests as at least 14kt, it's been re-shanked at some point but doesn't show too much wear on the gold. The stones are sapphire, but silky and a couple have chips. They also appear to have been cut by a dull blade in the dark. I'm not sure what era this would date to?

That's a beautiful bracelet! It's got presence but is so delicate.
 
Nice finds Mustang Gal! You have quite the eye for finding amazing pieces!! I love all three pieces! Could we get a handshot of the sapphire ring? Are they maybe rose cut?
 
What great finds!! The OMC is especially charming!
 
Oh my goodness amazing finds!! I'm torn between the braclet and the sapphire ring. Both are beautiful!

I'll have to load one later, I took a couple on the hand. It's larger than most of my jewelry, but kinda fun. The center sapphire is a cab, but the others are more along the lines of single cuts. They're just wonky, some chipped, and 1 stone was replaced at some point with a cleaner diamond cut sapphire. The poor thing looks completely out of place.

Thanks for the compliments ladies!
