For those of you who have found OECs utilizing the search engine on ebay, what terms do you recommend using to search for them? I don't seem to ever have much luck finding many.
Ditto. Or troll the slush-pile of soon to end listings in the various antique jewelry categories. Frequently the good deals lack key words, hence the difficulty of finding them and the reason they're still good deals...Gypsy|1316404107|3020476 said:Hi bright ice. I"ll be honest... I would search Ruby Lane as well. Better quality listings and vendors and pics... and goods.
My usual search term is "European diamond" or "old diamond _______" Ring/necklace/pendant/broach

"Deco" is a good key word if you are looking for jewelry, not just loose stones. Surprisingly, *any* type of nicer antique jewelry from any era can be "Deco", who knew?![]()
Oh and I almost always look at a seller's other stuff if I find something that is a good deal and a well-done listing with nice pics, a good return policy etc., even if the original auction is not exactly what I'm looking for.
